When we think of Jesus miracles, we tend to first think about the ones that saved lives: healing broken people, feeding hungry crowds, bringing the dead back to life. But what's with his miracle of turning water into wine? Who did that save? Is it as important as bringing someone back to life? This Sunday we'll follow Jesus as he attends a wedding and does this strange, joyful miracle, wondering along the way what Good News it might have for us today.
Peace,
Pastor Liz

HEALTHCARE NOTES FROM EDGEWOOD FAITH NURSE
January is national Glaucoma awareness month. Glaucoma is an eye disease that can damage your optic nerve. The optic nerve supplies visual information to your brain from your eyes. Glaucoma is usually, but not always, the result of abnormally high pressure inside your eye. Over time, the increased pressure can erode your optic nerve tissue, which may lead to vision loss or even blindness. People over 60 are at increased risk for glaucoma. Glaucoma cannot be prevented, but it's important to catch it early so you can begin treatment that will help prevent it from getting worse. The best way to know your risk or prevent further eye damage associated with glaucoma is to have annual preventive eye exams. If you want to know more resources for glaucoma please let me know.
