On Sunday, September 8 at 10:00 am, all are invited for a joyous Rally Day service with baptisms and Blessing of the Backpacks! Following the 10:00 am service, we will have a festive lunch provided by Bella Isla Café. Whether it’s been a week or a few years since you’ve joined for in-person worship at Epiphany, you won’t want to miss the joy and fellowship, crafts, games, bounce house, or pop-up basketball.

All children in preschool through sixth grade are invited into our community of spiritual development, imagination, and friendship. Church School classes are held during the first half of the 10:00 am worship service (2nd through 5th Sundays of each month). Our time together begins with sacred stories, told in ways that engage children in sight, sound, and touch, followed by time to explore, be creative, and make friends. We learn about God's love for each of us, make sense of what we do in worship, and know the welcome of this community of faith.

Calling all 6th graders! Join Rev. Janelle and other youth leaders for ice cream on Sunday, September 15 following the 10:00 am service. This will be a time to get to hear from our 6th graders about hopes for their time in youth ministry and to build community for the new year. If your 6th grader is interested, please RSVP to Rev. Janelle.
