Julie Carrick Dalton Book Discussion

On June 24 at 7:30pm, Epiphany parishioner Julie Carrick Dalton will join a Zoom call to discuss her award-winning Climate Fiction book Waiting for the Night Song.

Part climate fiction, part mystery, Julie’s debut novel weaves her love for the New Hampshire lakes and woods into a riveting story. The protagonist, Cadie Kessler, works as an entomologist, trying to protect the New Hampshire woods from an invasive species and the ever-present fear of drought that could lead to devastating fire. Through Cadie’s eyes, we see her beloved forest as living and breathing, worthy of care.

On June 24th, Julie and Nick Myers will discuss the influence of climate change in her novel, the power of friendship, and a call to fight for what we believe in. 

You’ll want to read the book before the book discussion. It’s available at most bookstores. Bookends in Winchester is currently offering a 10% discount.

Check in 3Crowns and on the Sustainability & Creation Care web page for the Zoom link.

In-Person Worship Is Back!

Welcome home, beloved community! Each Sunday, we will offer two identical services at 8:00am and 10:00am. Both services will include music and communion. Our 10:00am service will also continue to be livestreamed via YouTube.

Registration is required for anyone who wishes to attend in order to reserve seating. You can reserve your seating by registering at our parish website,  www.3crowns.org/Epiphany_events, or by calling the parish office once the registration opens. 

Continuing Gratitude and an Invitation 

My beloved friends of Epiphany,

Dave (McSweeney) and I fell in love with Epiphany in 2012 and joined both the parish and The Episcopal Church a year later. Neither of us had any idea how God would use these two decisions to launch us into deeper waters. My journey towards the priesthood began in my youth but was ripened here, at Epiphany, with so many of you, dear friends.

In the spring of 2017, Jo Devlin, Mike Coltman, David Greeley, Sandra LaPerche, and Sarah Wasdyke were the Discernment Committee who recommended to the vestry that I be sponsored by Epiphany in the process from inquirer to postulant to candidate and, now, to ordinand. I am profoundly grateful.

I am genuinely humbled to invite you to “attend” online my ordination into the Sacred Order of Deacons on Saturday, June 5 at 10:30am. The service will be live-streamed from the Cathedral Church of St. Paul website at www.stpaulboston.org. Reverend Nick will be representing all of you, but I also assure you that each one of you will be in my very full heart, with great thanksgiving.

In faith,
Brett

Save the Date!

We will be with Brett in spirit as he is ordained a transitional deacon, and our prayers are welcome. On Sunday, however, we will celebrate on Zoom with Brett and his family! Please save the time: Sunday, June 6 at 7pm. 

If you would care to contribute to a gift from the Parish of the Epiphany to Brett to mark this holy occasion, contributions can be made online at https://3crowns.org/giving-acs or by check to the parish office. Please mark your check with Brett’s name in the memo line; there is a similar memo field available on the online form.

Donate for Food Security

Please help people in need of food security in Winchester, Woburn, and surrounding towns by contributing to the Anna LaViolette SNAP Matching Fund, created by the Winchester Farmers Market to honor the memory of our great friend, Anna LaViolette. Anna, an 85-year-old volunteer, embodied the spirit of the Market's mission to provide healthy, fresh food for all families. Through Anna's Fund, the Winchester Farmers Market matches SNAP benefits up to $15 per customer card, per market day. With your donations, you can help us increase the number of customers served and the amount of our match. To donate by credit card or PayPal, please click here. Please make checks out to Winchester Farmers Market with "Anna's Fund" in the memo line, and send to: Winchester Farmers Market / PO Box #36 / Winchester, MA 01890. 

Epiphany Views from the Pews

To share our excitement about reuniting again in person we have initiated a brief “views from the pews” videoseries inviting parishioners to share their favorite place to sit in the pews, what they may have missed while being away from Epiphany over the past 14 months, and why they’re excited or looking forward to returning to church in person.  These very brief videos (a minute or less) will then be shared on our website and in social media to give people (especially newcomers) a snapshot of who we are as a parish community.  

If you would like to join this project, Kathryn Dominguez will be recording videos of parishioners, individually or in pairs, sitting in the pews on weekdays between 9am and 2pm except for Tuesday mornings when there are staff meetings. Just stop by the church office, email office@3crowns.org or call 781-729-1922 to find a time to meet. You can also record a message from home and email it to her if easier. We look forward to collecting many of these short videos over the course of the next few months!
