Live Into Hope - Epiphany 2026

In “Hope: A User’s Manual” author MaryAnn McKibben Dana says “hope is not a prediction, hope is not optimism, hope is not charging into the future, hope is not a reliable straight line from cause to effect.” Experts who study and write about hope all agree on one common element: hope involves more than wishing good things will happen, because hope involves taking action.

They offer this definition:

Hope is the belief that your future can be brighter and better than your past and that you actually have a role to play in making it better.

This Epiphany we will focus on the theme of Hope, and ways we might identify what our role can be, amidst all the chaos and uncertainty in our world today, in being hopeful.
