REV. TIMOTHY LOZIER, PASTOR,timlozier@gmail.com

Our young church, who attend Religious Education, celebrated the Epiphany with a pizza & movie party on Wednesday, Jan. 10. They also chatted about the magi and the gifts they brought for our Lord. Our students wrote what they too would bring Jesus and those things were all brought to the altar in the offertory of Jan. 14.

The Black Nazarene Fiesta celebrated January 6th was a successful spiritual event

and would not have been possible without the support of so many devotees and

friends! Thank you very much to everyone who made it possible. Your kindness and

generosity are greatly appreciated. Looking forward to next year’s Fiesta!!!

Sincere gratitude from MHR CCW-Nazarene Circle
