Epiphany -October 29, 2022

 

 

Fr. Timothy Vavareck authored ‘As I Have Loved You: Rediscovering Our Salvation in Christ’, and this books examines our own existence as persons and how the Covenant relationship weds us to Christ in his loving service of God and neighbor . Fr. Carter Griffin authored of ‘Forming Fathers: Seminary Wisdom for Every Priest’ and he’ll talk about this and more.  Tom Nash, returns to Epiphany to talk about Halloween, spiritual warfare, and things we need to avoid. He also suggests ways kids and adults can dress up to show our faith.

 


Fr. Timothy Vavarek

 

Author of the book below and Pastor of St. Mary’s Church of the Assumption in West Texas Over many centuries, Christians have lost sight of the heart of the Eternal Covenant: our nuptial union with God in Jesus as members of his Body and Bride. This has fueled a growing crisis of Christian identity and witness. Only by rediscovering the depth and beauty of our salvation in Christ will we be drawn to share more fully in his life and saving mission. But that requires encountering anew the scriptural and early Christian understanding of redemption as a nuptial bond rather than merely a juridical pardon of sin.
