EPIPHANY STAR WORDS

Epiphany Star Words are available. The word is meant to be your word for the year. A word to reflect on, a word to strive for, a word to challenge you, and a word to inspire you.

Here are some questions to help you in your journey:

What synonyms are there for your word?
Where can you find your word in Scripture? Which Scripture passage is your favorite? Do any of these passages make you cringe?
What is the antonym for your word, noting that it is important to understand the void that exists when your word is not present?
How does your word help you to understand the sacraments of communion and baptism?
What hymn embodies your word?
How does your word enhance worship, devotion, spiritual formation, and discipleship?

Star Words Prayer

God, we acknowledge that we are not always ready to receive your best gifts for us. You have given us an Epiphany word in order that our searching will bring us to you. It is often our habit to turn aside, stumble over, or even reject experiences and encounters that we later understand to have been precious gifts.

Help us to be open to the gift that you offer us now through our star words. We acknowledge that we do not fully understand what this word might mean for our faith, but we receive it from you with gratitude and pray that your Spirit will enable us to live into our word with intention and faithfulness. Amen.
