“Learning to Pray” – Backpacking Overnight with Fr. Robin May 23-24
Each year when the weather gets nice, I (Fr. Robin) enjoy leading a small group of men and women on an overnight to learn about some aspect of Christian faith. This spring we’ll be focusing on learning how to pray. Being in natural surroundings opens up the heart to hear God through the absence of city noise and the appreciation of God’s creation.
Epiphany’s Rector Announces Retirement Plans
“As I have walked the journey of my vocation as a priest, I’ve been increasingly aware of the need to know when it is time to step down in parish ministry and finish well. That time has come for Penny and me. I’ve met with both wardens, submitted my intention to retire from parish ministry on August 30 and asked the Vestry to pray with Penny and me as we step out in faith. With the guidance of Bishop Guernsey, the Wardens and Vestry will work on a transition plan that will assure continuity of care for our people as well as continuation of the wonderful worship and ministry of Epiphany.”
