Welcome to Christ Church, the Mother Church of Georgia
“Grand Showing” …
This is a classic marketing phrase for any new product: a new car, the latest kitchen appliance, some techno-gadget that does more than we can imagine.
At Christ Church, we recently celebrated the “Feast of the Epiphany,” which is really a “grand showing” of the Christ-child, the revelation of God as the Savior of all nations, represented by the visitation of the Magi from the East. If Christmas is God coming to us, then Epiphany is us coming to God. The Sundays after Epiphany until Ash Wednesday chronicle this amazing “coming and going.”
Unlike modern marketing, the “grand showing” of Christ is not about something new, but about something very old. It is the story of a good creation which has fallen and is now broken, of human hearts that have turned in on themselves with self-indulgence, only to be left empty and longing for something real, of a Creator who loved His creation enough to come and be a part of it, of a God who loved people enough to die for them, even when they did not care. As ancient as this message is, it remains as contemporary as today’s news.
Christ Church is committed to this great message, this wondrous “epiphany” of God. Here the broken experience healing, the lonely discover a home, the lost find purpose and hope. Here the “old Gospel” speaks to the pressing questions of today with amazing relevance, where biblical truth is preached and taught with conviction and compassion.
Won’t you join us in worship this Sunday? You may be a faithful worshipper of many years or an individual with overwhelming doubts or unbearable burdens. You are welcomed. We believe the epiphany of Jesus Christ is for you, and that in Him you will discover an amazing life of grace and hope in a loving community of His followers.
