God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.

“The United Methodist Church of Westford is an open and welcoming community of Christian
Faith. Without any exceptions, we welcome anyone who seeks to love and to serve God.” Learn More

On this Epiphany Sunday, as we step into a new year, we gather for worship carrying the familiar routines, lingering worries, and quiet hopes of our lives. Like the Magi from the East who journeyed to visit the Holy Family, we come seeking a light that draws us beyond what we already know. The Magi discovered that light in the child Jesus - a light of hope, guidance, and God’s living presence among us.

When they left, they did not return by the same road. That light sent them home differently, reshaping how they would see the world and live their lives. In much the same way, the light of Christ we encounter in worship - through Word, song, prayer, and silence - has the power to change us. It offers new vision, redirects our choices, and invites us to live with deeper courage, faith, and generosity.

Epiphany reminds us that following Christ’s light, especially at the beginning of a new year, means remaining open to the unexpected paths God may place before us. Like the Magi, we are sent home differently - renewed in hope, guided in mission, and transformed for lives of faithful discipleship. Epiphany celebrates this revealing light and invites all people to follow wherever it leads.
