Music for Epiphany

Adoration of the Magi - Gentile da Fabriano, ca. 1423

January 6 is celebrated in the Western Christian church as the Feast of Epiphany -- the revelation of the Christ to the Gentiles, represented in Scripture as the Magi (see the Gospel for January 5, 2020 -- Matthew 2:1-12).

Though absent from our current Common Praise hymnal, those of us of a certain age grew up with the carol "We Three Kings" that was sung at this time of year. Today for your reflection and celebration of this joyous revelation, here it is, from the choir of St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle, J. Melvin (Mel) Butler directing; the organist is Thomas Joyce.

Service Times

Sundays at 10 a.m. - Alternatively, either Eucharist or Morning Prayer (BAS). All are welcome to our services, and to join us for coffee and refreshments afterward.

NOTE: The Parishes of St. Cyprian's, Lacombe and St. John's, Olds, serve the wine at Eucharist from the common cup. If this is uncomfortable for you, please know that you can accept the wafer of bread and then simply touch the base of the chalice of wine, and be deemed to have received the sacrament in both kinds.

Masks are optional, and a matter of personal choice, including during corporate singing. Hand sanitizer is available for those who wish to cleanse their hands prior to taking the Eucharist.

Please continue in prayer for leaders at all levels, facing difficult decisions every day, for all on the front lines of health care and emergency response, for all facing illness of any kind, and/or grieving the loss of loved ones for any reason.
