Head of Household: Peace be to this house and : to all who dwell here, in the name of the lord. All: Blessed be God forever. Reader: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father s only Son, full of grace and truth. (John 1:1-3.14) Using Chalk, write on the outside of your house, above or next to an entrance: (write the first half of the Current Year) 20, Christus Mansionem Bededicat (write the second half of the year) 19. Looks like this +20CMB19+ These words mean, May Christ bless this house. All: Lord God of Heaven and earth, you revealed your only begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this house and all who inhabit it. May we be blessed with health, goodness of heart, gentleness and the keeping of your law. Fill us with the light of Christ, that our love for each other may go out to all. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen Don t forget the King Cake! A lovely tradition long associated with Epiphany. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish. A Bundt cake, frosted or sugared with traditional purple, yellow and green. A small coin or plastic baby Jesus placed under a piece of cake and the recipient is King or Queen for a day. M E S S A G E F R O M Y O U R P A S T O R

During a bible study several years ago, it was suggested that instead of a New Year s Resolutions, we each review a list of virtues and pick one to focus on for the coming year. We were asked to read over the list several times, and see if one jumped out at us. When we selected one, we were to focus on it each day throughout the year. It s a worthwhile exercise, and one you are much more likely to remember as the months go by. Here is a link to a list of virtues: or just google list of virtues and begin perusing. Sometimes what surfaces will surprise you. Whichever virtue you choose, get ready for your life to change! -Tracey Rockwell January 06, 2019 Page 3
