"Epiphany" means " to be visible" or "a showing forth", revealing Jesus's divinity and calling believers to share that light with the world. It is a time for us to recognize Jesus as the divine light and grow in that understanding as we move toward Easter.

First Lutheran Church and Luther Crest have had an amazing partnership for many years. On Sunday, January 25 and Wednesday, January 28, Luther Crest Bible Camp will be leading a camp style worship at all of the services. Come and remember what it was like to worship at camp! On Wednesday evening, Luther Crest will also lead our children's programming. All are welcome as we join our ministries together at First Lutheran.
