Art Fry sang in his church choir. Fry was frustrated by the fact that, when he stood and opened his hymnal to sing, the paper bookmarks that he used in his hymnal to mark the songs on the program would slip out of sight or even onto the floor. In a moment of insight that has become legendary in the realm of contemporary invention, Fry, musing during a rather boring sermon, came up with the idea that led to the invention of the Post-it note – what an Epiphany!
Listen to a sermon by the Rev. Daniel Haas commemorating Epiphany based on Micah 5:2-5a and Matthew 2:1-12. It was delivered at Provo Community United Church of Christ on January 8 2012.
