Monday the eaves were scraped, Tuesday the building was power-washed, and Wednesday the painting began. Why all this fuss? Because we want to look our best for the celebration of 100 years of officially being the Church of the Epiphany!
Please join us for the Epiphany Centennial Celebration on Sunday, September 11 at 11 AM. The festivities will begin with Morning Prayer in the fellowship hall. Following, Roger Mattes, will regale us with a presentation on parish history spanning from our days as St. John's Memorial Mission to the present.
After, we will round out the festivities with a potluck feast. Those who are able to are invited to sign up to bring a dish to share. Letting the committee* know what to expect will help with the overall menu planning to complement the chicken and meat they will provide. A signup sheet is posted in the narthex (foyer) of the church.
We do hope you will gather with your Epiphany friends and family to celebrate our first 100 years of ministry and look forward to the next 100! Please spread the word to friends and family to come join in the celebration.
(*If you are interested in being in on the planning, do join the weekly meeting at the church following the 11 AM service.)

We are looking forward to a gathering with youth from our four closest parishes: Epiphany, Good Shepherd, St. Luke’s and St. Peters.
Some “getting to know ya” time/activities for the kids. Then a cook out, then some exploration on the grounds, and finally a said Holy Eucharist.
If parents would like a break, you can drop-off/pick-up your kiddos. If you would like to stay and meet other parents and help out behind the scenes with food prep and other “hiccups”, there’s that too! You may also nap in the A/C!
Rain day? We’ll gather under the pavilion and perhaps have the Holy Eucharist service in the church.
Please let me know who’s coming... Deacon John (570-575-8689)

People come to Epiphany from a variety of faith traditions, lifestyles, backgrounds, and ethnicities, but all meld into one extended family; a church family of all ages where you can belong and be loved - whether in-person or on-line. This is a safe, affirming place where you are encouraged to come as you are to explore your faith, serve your neighbor, and grow in love.
God of the nations, our hope is ever in you. We hold before you this day the people of Ukraine as they face the tragedy of war in their land. Strengthen and comfort them in their fear and protect them from danger. Have compassion on the broken-hearted and all in harm’s way, especially the most vulnerable who are unable to find places of safety. Pour out your grace and wisdom on the hearts and minds of the leaders involved that war may cease and a peaceful resolution found. May truth, justice, and freedom prevail. We ask this in your most holy name. Amen.

We believe that all of us are important parts of the Body of Christ in the world - that each has unique talents to bring to the table; that those skills, abilities, and resources work in tandem to get the work of Jesus done here on earth. And to have a good time doing it!
