Dear Holy Comforter,

The Epiphany season comes to a close this Sunday with a reading about the transfiguration of Jesus. And that is appropriate because aside from his resurrection, there is no more significant display of Jesus’ glory than the transfiguration, when he shines bright as the sun and is identified as God’s Beloved Son. All of Epiphany has been building toward this revelation of who Jesus is.

Dear Holy Comforter,

It was such a joy to be back with you in person last Sunday for our kid-led Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. What a gift it was to see our children leading us in worship—reading scripture, offering prayers, joining the procession, serving communion. Their joy and confidence were a beautiful reminder that God is alive and at work among us.
