Eve of Epiphany
Sarah, Theodora, and Syncletica of Egypt, Desert Mothers, 4th-5th century
Fix our hearts on thee, O God, in pure devotion, that aided by the example of thy servants Sarah, Theodora, and Syncletica, the vain pursuits of this world may have no hold upon us, and that by the consuming fire of thy Spirit, we may be changed into the image and likeness of thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom with thee and the same Spirit be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.
6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
The Rector’s Christian Doctrine Class is a 14-session comprehensive overview of Christian teaching about God, sin, salvation, church history, sacraments and more. January 5 is the first session; its topic is “God and creation.”
This class is particularly for persons who are new to the church. It will give you a good sense of what Christians believe and a grasp of fundamental Christian practices (such as prayer and the sacraments). It is also an opportunity to get to know our Rector, Father Mead. Persons who wish to join Saint Thomas Church, and persons who wish to be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, are particularly encouraged to attend. We also welcome drop-ins who happen to be interested in the topic of the day.
