Second Sunday after the Epiphany, Jan. 16

by

The Collect: Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

This is just an FYI. I will be on vacation from the podcast for the next two weeks. Should have a new podcast available for Sunday Jan. 30

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
