Denomination

We seek our Hope in denominations.

We find our fellowship in denominations.

We find our identity in denominations.

We are divided by our denominations.

But we are the body of Christ.

We each play a part in Christ.

But we are united in Christ.

We are one in God through Christ.

To be in a denomination is not Christ.

To be in a congregation is not Christ.

To be in a study is not Christ.

To be in fellowship is not Christ.

Worldwide unity only in the Church.

Eternal unity is only in the Church.

Sharing Christ with all is the Church.

Offering hope and love is the Church 2/4/2020

The name "Candlemas" derives from the tradition of blessing candles on this 

day, symbolizing Christ as the Light of the World. This practice dates back to 

the early Church, particularly in Jerusalem, where Christians would process 

with candles to honor the presentation of Jesus. Over time, this custom spread 

throughout Europe, becoming a significant feast day in many Christian 

denominations, including Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Orthodox churches.
