Fifth Sunday After Epiphany
"We invite everyone to share communion around God's altar.
We strive to be a welcoming and relevant Christian community doing what matters through prayer, worship, teaching, outreach, fellowship, and service.
We will demonstrate the real life application of scripture, tradition, and

hurts, joys, and interests."

You're invited to help the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta bring home the win from a challenge we've been issued by Episcopal Church bishops in New England.
Leading up to this Sunday's Super Bowl game, they want to see who - Falcons' fans or Patriots' fans - can raise the most money for Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD) by game time.
Show your team pride and
click here to make a donation on behalf of Team Atlanta.
You'll find the red "Donate" button on the left-hand side of the page.
You can also share the link with family and friends and encourage them to take the challenge as well.
Regardless of whether the Atlanta Falcons or New England Patriots come out on top in the big game or this challenge, the true winner will be Episcopal Relief & Development and those they assist. ERD provides disaster relief, public health, and economic development ministries in an effort to heal a hurting world.
Bishop Robert Wright invites everyone to participate: "Let's harness our A
tlanta pride to advance toward the goal of compassion and health for all God's children!"

This Sunday's Anthem:
This Little Light of Mine
WHAT AN
amazing and unexpected history This Little Light of Mine turns out to have.
I went on a hunt for some scratchy old field recordings, assuming it was an old southern gospel song. And it was, sort of. For while there is a modern gospel version of This Little Light, the song has had several incarnations. But the one thing it has never been is a Negro spiritual. It isn't even from the south.
This Little Light of Mine
was written in the 1920s as a song for children by a white northern pastor/music teacher, Harry Dixon Loes. Inspired by one or more of several Gospels which reference the Lord's shining light, it became a staple of Sunday School teaching across the U.S.
It was in 1952 when The Ward Singers, legendary pioneers of the modern gospel sound, turned it into a 'gospel' song for adults. Soon after, Zilphia Horton adapted it further still and taught it to Pete Seeger (as she did with We Shall Overcome) and other folk singers of the 1950s. It became a Civil Rights anthem, generally assumed to be a symbolic old slave song from the south.
Not surprisingly, This Little Light of Mine can be performed in pretty much any manner you please. I've found over 30 distinct versions.
Some of the names will be familiar (Brenda Lee, Etta James, Neko Case, Odetta, Roger McGuinn, The Seekers, Sam Cooke, Son House). Other versions, some of them even better, won't. Professor Eddie Lusk? Trombone Shorty? Doc Fozz? Are those cocktails or singers?
You can hear it by jug bands, singer-songwriters, piano players, gospel 'torch' singers. There's a capella, handclaps, finger snapping....solos, duets, 4-part harmony, large-scale choirs....
It's played on piano, fiddle, guitar, upright bass, organ, cello (the Yo-Yo Ma is delicious), with horns....
You can hear it in doo wop, country, dreamy prog folk, bluegrass, blues, gospel.... Ry Cooder even wrote a rock version for Mavis Staples.
No matter who is singing, This Little Light of Mine remains a most powerful song of personal freedom, and no matter the style, some of the child-like jubilation and wonder found in that original children's hymn still shines through every time.
