The Northeastern Iowa Synod’s Global Church Together Network has prepared a packet of resources to help congregations celebrate the Epiphany season.
When the magi journeyed from afar with gifts for the Christ child, it was a profound sign that the light of Christ shines beyond borders, cultures, and nations. The Epiphany season invites us to celebrate that same global connectedness through our Companion Synod partnerships with churches across the world to honor Christ’s presence among us all.
The Epiphany resources include:
- Prayer Petitions — to include in your prayers for the global church.
- PowerPoint Slides — to visually share stories and connections. By Rev. Dr. Mark Jackel-Yuleen
- Video sermon — By Bishop Kevin Jones
- Hymn Suggestions — offering music that celebrates global unity. By Rev. Dena Gable
- Litany — for use in worship. By Rev. Brittany Barkus
- Bulletin insert
