Epiphany Star Wrap-up
What was your Epiphany star word for 2025? If you have reflected on your word this year and would be willing to share a few thoughts about it, please contact Pastor Emma Nickel. We will distribute new star words on January 4, 2026.
​
The Mitten Tree
The Christmas tree in the CE Lobby which we use to gather warm things for those who need a helping hand. Please think of what you might hang on the tree—gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, socks, etc. Our gifts will go to adults at the Welcome Inn and Second Mile Center, as well as kids at Second Mile Center and local schools in Royal Oak. The need is great! Thank you in advance. Questions? Contact Julie Matthews.
