Holy Communion, with the first Junior Church event of 2004 at the same time in the hall.
First reading: Isaiah 60.1-6
Gospel: Matthew 2.1-12
Today we celebrate Epiphany - Christ's revelation to the world beyond Israel, symbolised by the visit of the three Magi. The Old Testament reading from Isaiah foreshadows the Epiphany in a highly symbolic way: in a passage sometimes subtitled 'The Ingathering of the Dispersed' the prophet visualises exiled Israelites returning to a revived and flourishing country. The New Testament Magi have also come on a long journey, possibly travelling beyond the borders of the world they knew, yet they too are, in a different sense, coming home bearing gifts.
