Family Stories for Peace UCC | Home By Another Way

 


This week we're continuing to tell the story of the Epiphany, when the wise ones made their way to the holy family with gifts for a king.  Our story this week is by Barbara Brown Taylor, a "spiritual contrarian" who served in the Episcopal Church for decades.  While most of her books are for adults, "Home By Another Way: A Christmas Story" is a wonderful telling of the Epiphany that follows the magi from the moment they get stars stuck in their eyes (while minding their own business!) until they leave baby Jesus and the holy family to follow a different path.  

Each of us can find a light this season to follow-- something bright, hopeful, and unique that can lead us, perhaps, to make whatever changes we might desire in this season.  This story recognizes that there are corrupt rulers in the world, but that we do what is in our power to change the story and follow a different path.  


This is a story for Children and Families at Peace UCC. This lesson is for Epiphany Sunday. This week we're reading "Home By Another Way" by Barbara Brown Taylor. This book will be available at Kids' Night Out and during Family Worship! Please consider purchasing the books from today's video by using the link below: Home By Another Way
