Are you interested in being a Congregational Liaison? 

Join Pastor Paul for our first time together for a monthly roundtable. We will talk about what it means to be a Liaison. We will discuss what LEAN is following in 2026.

Epiphany is not about something new arriving.
It’s about our opening and changing our perspective.

Like a child discovering the world with wonder and curiosity, Epiphany invites us to slow down and notice what has been there all along. In this season, Christ is made known, not in spectacle or certainty, but in relationship, presence, and love.

When Jesus asks the disciples, “What are you looking for?” he is really asking:
What are you paying attention to?

This week, we lean into Epiphany by practicing holy curiosity:

• Where is Christ being revealed in our neighbors?
• Where is light breaking through in places we thought were ordinary?
• Where is God calling us to “come and see” rather than rush past?

In a world that often feels fractured and loud, Epiphany reminds us that God’s amazing grace still shines, especially when we honor human dignity, protect the vulnerable, and recognize the belovedness of every person.

May we lean into the week with open eyes, open hearts, and the courage to see Christ made known among us.

Come and see.

As most people know, the process of seeking safety in the United States for families forced to flee their homes is extensive and difficult. Refugees admitted to the United States by the government undergo years of processing, in-person interviews, security checks, and medical screenings before setting foot on U.S. soil.

But now, under a new initiative called Operation PARRIS, thousands of refugees in Minnesota are the target of an intensive Department of Homeland Security (DHS) operation to reexamine their status under U.S. law—part of a larger effort by the Trump administration to relitigate, reconsider, and second-guess previous grants of refugee status.

What does this mean? Families who followed all of the rules and were lawfully admitted to the U.S. may now be at risk.
