We aspire to be a village church with a mission to share the love of God through worship and service to both parishioners and the larger community of the Wood River Valley. The opportunity arose to collaborate with ProjectToolSuccess and The Community Table to celebrate Epiphany.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The Feast of the Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, celebrates the Magi\u2019s (Wise Men\u2019s) visit to the infant Jesus twelve days after Christmas. In Spanish-speaking countries, it is customary for children to receive gifts on this day. They place their shoes filled with hay outside their doors to feed the camels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">St. Thomas invited members of the Hispanic\/LatinX community to a celebration. COVID made a fiesta impossible, but a service requiring masks and then an outdoor dinner of tamales, Rosca de Reyes (a sweet bread with a statue of the infant Jesus baked in) to go, and a traditional hot chocolate drink were enjoyed by all. Children received crowns and small gifts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Reflecting on the visit of the Magi, who represent the diverse people of the world, coming to visit Jesus, the Rev. Jonah Kendall preached about Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, who recently passed away.\u00a0Tutu proclaimed that God sought to break down the barriers that divide humanity by bringing us together into a fellowship of respect, collaboration and love that Tutu called \u201cthe Rainbow people of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Our hope is that we can begin to foster a rainbow community in the Wood River Valley<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><b>NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">La Iglesia Episcopal de Santo Tom\u00e1s en Ketchum es un lugar acogedor para todos. Aspiramos a ser una iglesia de pueblo con la misi\u00f3n de compartir el amor de Dios a trav\u00e9s de la adoraci\u00f3n y el servicio a los feligreses y a la comunidad m\u00e1s grande del Valle del R\u00edo Wood. Surgi\u00f3 la oportunidad de colaborar con ProjectToolSuccess, Vecinos Apoyando Vecinos, y la Mesa Comunitaria para celebrar la Epifan\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">La Fiesta de la Epifan\u00eda o el D\u00eda de los Tres Reyes celebra la visita de los Magos al infante Jes\u00fas doce d\u00edas despu\u00e9s de la Navidad. En los pa\u00edses de habla hispana es costumbre que los ni\u00f1os reciban regalos en este d\u00eda. Ellos colocan sus zapatos llenos de heno fuera de sus puertas para alimentar a los camellos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">St. Thomas invit\u00f3 a miembros de la comunidad hispana\/latinx a una celebraci\u00f3n. El coronavirus hizo imposible una fiesta, pero un servicio que requer\u00eda m\u00e1scaras y luego una cena al aire libre de tamales, Rosca de Reyes (un pan dulce con una estatua del ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas horneado) para ir y una bebida tradicional de chocolate caliente fueron disfrutados por todos. Los ni\u00f1os recibieron coronas y peque\u00f1os regalos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Reflexionando sobre la visita de los Magos, quienes en la historia de la natividad representan a la gente del mundo que viene a visitar a Jes\u00fas, el reverendo Jonah Kendall predic\u00f3 sobre el Noble Ganador del Premio de la Paz, Arzobispo Desmond Tutu, de Sud\u00e1frica, quien falleci\u00f3 recientemente. Tutu entendi\u00f3 el amor de Cristo como tener el poder de derribar las barreras que dividen a la humanidad al llevarnos a una nueva comuni\u00f3n de amor que Tutu llam\u00f3, \u201cel pueblo arco iris de Dios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Nuestra esperanza es que podamos comenzar a fomentar una comunidad de arco iris en el Valle del R\u00edo Wood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CELEBRANDO LA EPIFAN\u00cdA EN COMUNIDAD OUR VOICE COUNTS St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum is a welcoming place for all.
