Sharing the Light of Christ
“What an amazing year this has been for Epiphany!” This was my reaction as I read the annual report and attended the annual meeting last week. I must admit, this reaction was a bit of a surprise as this past year has given us challenges that we never imagined we would face. Confronted with sickness and death, and economic, political and social turmoil, the people of Epiphany have found many ways to continue being the church.
We have found ways to continue worshiping on Sundays and during the week which has helped to keep us grounded. Read more |

Ash Wednesday Holy Eucharist and Imposition of Ashes
Wednesday, 17 February
We are finding a way forward in faith, hope, and love beginning with Ash Wednesday.
Each household is invited to pick-up consecrated bread and wine, ashes, and a service bulletin for Ash Wednesday in preparation for our live- streamed service on February 17th. Pick-up will be at the Central Street door of the Church. We ask that you enter the semi-circle from the direction of Bacon St. and exit towards Church Street.
Parishioners are invited to drive-by the church at these times:
Sunday, February 14 from 12:00pm-3:00pm
Tuesday, February 16 from 7:00-8:00pm
Wednesday, February 17 from 7:00-9:00am
Ash Wednesday worship will be available on February 17th via Youtube so you can worship at a time that is convenient for you.

Home sessions will meet via Zoom on various days of the week. The resources can also supplement family discussions and private meditation. Click here for more information and dates. |

“Repentance 2021—Turning back to God here and now”
The invitation of Lent to repent and return to the Lord is the same every year, but we come to this invitation this year in the wake of the overlapping pandemics of COVID-19, racism, climate change and disinformation. The Cathedral Church of St. Paul in Boston invites everyone to take part in its annual Lenten Preaching Series, via Zoom, on Thursdays at noon throughout Lent.
