bookmark_borderSundays After The Epiphany

This season begins with the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6 and continues until Ash Wednesday (February 5 in 2014) when the season of Lent begins. A Lutheran tradition has been a focus on world missions throughout the time between Christmas and Lent; this is in the spirit of the “foreign” Magi coming to worship the newborn Jesus and making him known to the wider world.

Pastor Ficken was hospitalized after worship on April 7 and had emergency gastro-intestinal surgery on April 8. After the initial period of recovery at Pennsylvania Hospital, she was discharged to her home on April 16. With in-home care services, she is continuing her recovery there. Given this circumstance, she has been unable to provide her thoughtful monthly letter for this publication. We will share news of significant steps in her recovery via the e-mail notification network. She wants us to know of her deep gratitude for all the prayers offered on her behalf, and for the phone calls, notes and visits during this stressful time. She has been touched by our concern. Please keep our pastor in your prayers! Ed.
