First Sunday Intergenerational Worship:

This Sunday, December 3, at 10am

On the first Sunday of every month, we all worship together (there are no separate Church School classes) and the children & youth are invited to take part in special ways throughout the 10am service. This is an important way in which the children experience the service, and all ages love working together. First Sunday Worship is special and well loved.

Would you child like to be a greeter, an usher, a reader ("lector"), or an element bearer on one of our First Sundays? These jobs are fun ways to help and take part in the service, and we teach children their simple roles "on the job" that morning.

We invite you to sign up your child for a role on December 3 (greeters still available), January 7, or February 4 here: First Sunday Worship Jobs Sign-Up

Midweek Dinner, Art, Music, and Bible Study for All Ages: Wednesday, December 6 -- 6:15-7:30pm

Join us on Wednesday, December 6 for our bimonthly Midweek @ Epiphany gathering. Midweek is for all ages -- tots through, well, everyone. It includes a homecooked meal at 6:15, and at 7:00 a Bible Study for grownups with Rev Nick, fellowship for 6-12th graders with Janelle, and art & music with Bryn and Jeremy for kids.

This week's dinner will be fajitas with rice and beans. There will be quesadillas and a vegetarian option as well.

Christmas Pageant:
Sign-Ups Now Open!

All children, please sign up now for your part in our Christmas Eve Pageant!

Our Christmas pageant will be on Christmas Eve at the 4:00 pm worship service. All children are welcome to take part! We hold rehearsals at 11:30 am following worship on Sundays in December.

Please click below to sign your child up to participate in the pageant and to indicate their preferred role. Our speaking roles have been assigned, but there is always more room for angels, sheep, and shepherds!

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

Pageant Sign-Ups

Grown Ups and Teens, We Need You!

The pageant needs lots of adult and teen helpers. We need help with costuming and sets. We also need a few older angels and shepherds to don costumes and quite literally shepherd the younger ensemble members.

Grown-ups and teens, please sign up here to help.

Pageant Helpers

Mary and Joseph, ready for anything. 2021.

Youth Christmas Party: Sunday, December 17, 6:30-8:30pm

All in grades 6-12, join us for our youth Christmas celebration! We'll have dessert (hopefully decorating cookies!) and have a white elephant gift exchange (think creative, DIY, make up something), maybe time for one round of the much enjoyable night time hide and go seek at the church.

The Dwelling Place: Soup Kitchen Service Opportunity for Families

The Dwelling Place is a soup kitchen in Woburn open three nights a week serving hot meals to anyone who needs it. This is a great opportunity to be in solidarity with our neighbors and to address food insecurity.

On Friday, December 22, please signup to help cook a meal in the Epiphany kitchen. We will be providing a special Christmas meal for our neighbors.
