Epiphany exists to meet the spiritual and physical needs of the community
as we share God’s love by feeding ALL.
We have resumed worship in our "pre-Omicron" manner. We continue to require masks and social distancing. (Singing and 9 am coffee hour resumed on Sunday, Feb 20.)

Dear Friends in Christ...I pray for the people of Ukraine, for their safety and their sovereignty. I hope you will join me in prayer for protection for those in harms way, and for a swift end to this act of war.
Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness, no strength known but the strength of love: So mightily spread abroad your Spirit, that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace, as children of one Father; to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen. BCP 815
2022 Disaster Planning Workshops (March 5, 10, or 16)
Last year alone, over one million acres of our diocese was consumed by fire. Also, many in our diocese were rattled by earthquakes and inundated by flooding. A critical lesson from these events is that we can get “stuck” when we have to figure out what to do when the disaster is upon us. While we are unable to predict a disaster, we can all prepare for a disaster. click here for more information and to register.
LENT BOOK STUDY!
UPDATE: The sign-up sheet for our Lenten Soup Suppers is now available in the narthex. Each week during the book study, we will have two kinds of soup (1 vegan), bread/cheese, and fruit. We start March 9th at 6:30pm! We'll be reading Atul Gawande's Being Mortal: Medicine and what matters at the end.
