Ephesians 4:1-6
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called--one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. 

JOURNAL (You should probably get a new journal ja?)

• First term of the new year (copy into Journals & Notes): 
• Christus mansionem benedicat
• What do you think it means? 

• How might it relate to Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar?

• This quarter you will chalk up some poetry, but will your chalk be blessed? 
• Let's exchange tiny gifts in the form of an affirmation...who can you call out the blessing in? What blessing does this person bring to our community and your life? 

HW: Bring a poster board for your next vocabulary project...colorful is better than white!

Here's an Epiphany art march:

Mid 500's (AD, of course)

Mid 1600s (Murillo)

1800s (Tissot)
