Daily News for Sunday, January 11, 2009
Letter: The Wise men came a bit after Christ was born About: Photo, Glens Fork UMC Church To ColumbiaMagazine.com The photo may have been taken after Christmas but it is symbolic of an act of worship for the Epiphany of the Lord observed within the United Methodist Church. The Epiphany of the Lord is January 6 and is usually celebrated in church worship service on the first Sunday of January in the United Methodist Church. The Epiphany of the Lord actually predates Christmas celebrations among Christians. It's original focus was on the nativity, incarnation, and baptism of Christ. Today the focus is recoginizing the coming of the three wise men (Magi) as they brought gifts to Christ. Despite what is common in our culture with displaying the Christmas nativity scene, the three wise men weren't actually there on the night Christ was born. They came a bit later. s/Rev.

Knopf], is the son of Seattle "nail-bangers," a term Countryman uses to characterize his working class background, and is on the Roosevelt public school team.
