The season of Epiphany is a season of divine encounter. We come face to face with manifestations of God in our life, in our world, in ways that change the way we live and thus the world in which we live. For our Adult Formation in this season we welcome back Rabbi Michael Panitz who will lead us through a number of Jewish resources that explore this idea of epiphany and encounter and the subsequent engagement it brings forth. Rabbi Panitz will also be our guest preacher on Sunday, February 8th.
