Regathering Update Sunday, April 18
This past Sunday, I shared with you our need to return to a more in-person life together as a parish. In fact, I said it was one of the most "Easter-y" things we could do. Being together, in person, is part of our call as the incarnational Body of Christ in this world. I know that we hunger for the day when our lives will return to that sense of closeness and intimacy in all aspects of our lives--including church. We all know by now that when we do return to a more in-person life together here at Epiphany it will be in stages and feel different in many ways. But, we also have hope that the end of this time of physical separation is closer to us now than at any other time over the past year. The leadership of our church has been working for many months now to prepare ourselves for our regathering for in-person worship and life together.
Next Sunday, April 18th, we invite you to join our Zoom Fellowship after the 10am service where I, along with the wardens, will share some updates for our regathering process. We hope you can join in this time of sharing and conversation as we look to the near-term changes to our Sunday worship that will require all of our participation, leadership, and openness to make a success.
The signs of Easter are all around us. For this, we give thanks. Take care of yourselves, friends. And join us this coming Sunday, April 18th for worship and fellowship afterwards as we look into the next chapter of our life together here at Epiphany.
God's peace to you,
Rev. Nick

Part II will focus on committing to diversifying the housing opportunities in our community, and ways to address the inequities that are the result of historic and current policies and practices.
