Scripture: Luke 4:21-30​

Faith in Action Idea: Caring Conversation
Talk about what you heard in the Bible text/story. Some questions to guide you:

1. How do you feel when you want to be part of a group but are not invited to join? Explain.
   
2. When have you been challenged to oppose others and speak what you believe?
   
3. How has God sustained you during a time you felt unfairly criticized for what you believe?
   

​
Faith in Action Idea: Prayer
Holy God, give us confidence to live as a follower of Jesus that others may see in us our faith in you, our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Amen.​

Faith in Action Idea: Rituals & Traditions
Epiphany is a time for public expressions of the Christian faith. This includes caring for those who are treated poorly, even bullied. Think of people who are picked on or criticized by others. It is an act of the Christian faith to speak up against those bullying others. Light a candle and say a prayer for your own courage to speak for those who are demeaned or otherwise persecuted.
