Tapas and Takeaways Next Wednesday

Our congregational "health check-up" at Epiphany continues this coming week with a church wide meal and event on Wednesday. Here is the announcement from the church health team led by Jeff Zimmerman. Please consider being part of this evening. As a bonus, we'll provide dinner and do the dishes!

Where are we going as a church? How is the Lord calling us to grow? Join us April 30, 6:30 - 8:30 pm, as we brainstorm together about the future of our church. Enjoy a light dinner as we discuss how to build disciples, embrace being a multi-generational church, and share the Gospel with our congregation and community. This is an important opportunity for all of us to reflect on our past and share ideas for our future. Whether you have suggestions already brewing in your mind, or you wouldn't change a thing, we want to hear from you! Sign up here, in Church Center app or in the fellowship hall.

The Church Health Team's work stems from the results of the church health survey we took as a congregation earlier this year. The results of that survey are here. They would be good reading for all attendees before Wednesday night.

God Bless,

P.S. This was a very special Holy Week and Easter at Epiphany. Thank you so much to all of Epiphany for making it so. We experienced Jesus' Last Supper together on Maundy Thursday; journeyed to the Cross on Good Friday, kindled the Light of Christ and baptized new Christians at the Easter Vigil, then offered joyful worship, beautiful music; and (mostly) found more than 300 Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday!

P.P.S. I got a bit wrapped up in the moment and took a short video from the pulpit of our congregation on Easter Sunday. Here it is!

Peace With God and Peace of Perspective

Baptisms, Passover, and Easter Joy!
