(In
2013 Epiphany was the first Sunday, Baptism of Christ was the 2nd
Sunday. The 2nd Sunday of Epiphany prayers don't get used, but we move
straight to the 3rd Sunday prayers for 20 - 26 January and then the
4th Sunday prayers for 27 January till Friday 1st February).
Creator
God,
out
of nothing and then from chaos,
your
light and love stretch out
to
overflow the expanse of the cosmos.
Here,
four-fifths along the Milky Way,
you
have visited our planet with life and love.
In
Jesus, you show us how
your
glory fills our hearts and world.
Enfold
us in your local and eternal love.
Amen.
