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 11:15 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. We have speaking roles as well as "ensemble" roles (sheep, shepherds, angels of all ages!). We ask that those who would like a speaking role be able to attend at least two of the Sunday morning rehearsals.

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 Events

Wednesday, Nov. 29th - Youth Faith Circle

We will have our youth faith circle at Ellen Wilson's house from 6:15-7:30pm. Dinner is provided (please let me know of any dietary accommodations!) Final youth faith circle for 2023 (we will start up again later Jan): Dec. 13

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

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.

Saturday, December 23rd - The Dwelling Place

Once again we will be serving at the dwelling place, a soup kitchen in Woburn. Keep your eyes out for a sign up genius in Dec!

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.

Church School Classes in November:

On November 19, both of our Church School classes meet at 10am. Our Church School classes combine stories of the faith, liturgical education, community, art and fun.

The Godly Play class is for preschool through first graders, and meets in Upper Parish Hall. This Sunday the Godly Players will be learning about the Prophets.

The Story Makers class is for second through fifth graders, and meets in the Chapel. This Sunday the Story Makers also will be learning about the Prophets. Parents, we ask that you sign-up to stay and help one upcoming Sunday.

On November 26 (Thanksgiving Weekend) our two classes meet together in the Chapel for a special time of Advent preparation.

Christmas Fair on November 18:
Holiday Shopping, Crafts, Desserts & More

All are invited to the Epiphany’s beloved, annual holiday tradition on Saturday, November 18 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Browse through a variety of unique and beautifully crafted, warm, and cozy gifts, and support this tradition spanning three decades.

To entertain the kids while you shop, check out the Kids' Store for a "kids only" holiday shopping experience where children can purchase family gifts, some crafts, and children’s books.

This year’s Silent Auction will have items such as tickets to sporting and cultural events plus festive baskets. We will also sell homemade apple pies, lemon curd, jams, and bread and butter pickles. All this in addition to cookies, breads, and treats for the holidays available at the bake table which make great housewarming gifts. The café will offer a delicious menu and a pleasant place to gather with family and friends.
