Please make checks payable to the Parish of the Epiphany and write "Easter Flowers" in the memo line.

On Sunday, January 12 at 5:00 pm, join us for a harpsichord recital by Peter Skyes in the Upper Parish Hall. Peter Sykes has taught at the New England Conservatory, the Longy School of Music, and the University of Michigan, and currently teaches at Boston University and is a core faculty member and principal teacher of harpsichord in the Historical Performance department at the Juilliard School in New York City. He will offer music by Louis and François Couperin, Froberger, and J. S. Bach, playing his newest acquisition, a harpsichord by Ronald Haas (after Ruckers, 1624).

The Journey to Justice-sponsored Advent Giving Tree is back in church with opportunities to join in Epiphany’s gift ministry. You will find a big tree at the back of Hadley Hall and a small one beneath the lectern in the church, covered with tags describing suggested donations. This year’s gifts are directed to organizations which provide shelter to those who are unhoused. Please take tags from the trees and follow the instructions to make donations by the date indicated. In addition, there are links below to several organizations if you prefer to donate directly.

St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Cambridg
St. Peter’s is hosting immigrant families and needs help with costs like installing a shower and keeping the church heated throughout the week. Send a check to “St Peter's Episcopal Church” with “Hosting Families” in memo line: St Peter's Episcopal Church / 15 Sellers St. / Cambridge, MA 02139

Malden Warming Center
The MWC is a temporary night center for those that are homeless. It is a safe space of shelter during the harshest winter months, December 1-March 1. There are tags on the Giving Tree for specific clothing needs. Click to follow a link to their Amazon Wish List which has additional items needed.

La Colaborativa
La Colaborativa is a Latina-led organization that serves Latinx immigrants in gateway cities such as Chelsea, East Boston and Everett. Their focus areas include ensuring food and housing security and promoting economic progress. Click to contribute.

Our Christmas pageant will be on Christmas Eve during the 4:00 pm worship service. All children (including our tiny ones) are invited to be part of this service. No experience is necessary: our pageant is not a show or performance but rather it is a special way in which the children lead worship and share our holy scriptures. Please click to sign up!

When signing up, please indicate your child's preferred role. We have speaking roles as well as "ensemble" roles (sheep, shepherds & angels of all ages!). 

We practice our pageant on Sundays, December 8, 15, and 22 from 11:30 am to 12:15 pm, and on Christmas Eve at 2:45pm (so it is fresh in our memories).

We ask that those who would like a speaking role be able to attend at least two of the Sunday morning rehearsals. Most speaking roles have 1-2 sentences which are simple to memorize. These include Mary, Joseph, Innkeeper, Gabriel, Head Angel, and Head Shepherd. We also have a few prophet roles which are a little longer but are generally read.

If you have questions about what role would be a good fit for you child, please email Bryn at bhollenbeck@3crowns.org and we can discuss the options.
