Sunday was Epiphany Sunday. Here is a flash back of Dave and Ruth Dorman's son, Mark, at age 2. He was playing the part of the young Jesus at our Epiphany service some 30 years ago. No children's pageant for us this year, but we still celebrated Epiphany with a rousing solo by John Saylor, Star Words for 2023, and a Service of Ordination and Installation.

Thank you, Nikki and Al, for answering God's call to serve our congregation as members of Session for the next three years.
