Ministry Spotlight: Women’s Ministry
For many, the term “women’s ministry” conjures up all kinds of impressions of bulletins and websites with cuddly puppies or bake sales. For others, it’s the memory of frowning church ladies every Sunday. At Epiphany, the ministry is to provide a means for the Women of Epiphany to reach out to their neighbors and friends and introduce them to Christ in a friendly, familiar environment.

From the Rector: Knowing the Will of God
With all the connections we have to information it still seems the most important connection eludes us. There’s no way to Google “God’s will”. We pray and sometimes get no answers. We are diligent in having a daily quiet time, but often our search of the Bible gives us the specific direction we want. Knowing the will of God can be an exhausting business…. or maybe not.
Six-Thousand Meals for Epiphany’s Neighbors
“One of the things we wanted to do right away when Epiphany moved to our new neighborhood was begin to get to know and to serve the people around us.
