Interested in learning more about the diaconate?
The diaconate is an ordained order of ministry which focuses on serving others in need. In December, the Venerable Joanne Leslie, Archdeacon for the Diocese of Los Angeles, came to speak with us about the ministry of deacons and from her conversations with parishioners a small reading group has been formed. We will have our first meeting on today at 9 a.m. in the Founder’s Room. If you are interested in learning more about diaconal ministry and joining this reading group, please come to the meeting this coming Sunday. If you are unable to attend and still interested, please email the Very Rev. Melissa McCarthy at mmccarthy@tcote.org and let her know of your interest. All are welcome!
EfM at Epiphany is Starting!
Education for Ministry is an Adult Theological Education program sponsored by the School of Theology at Sewanee focusing on the study of the Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, and Theology over four years (committed one year at a time). The goal of the program is to enable laity to gain a greater understanding of our faith by experiencing many of the same educational opportunities as our clergy experience in seminary. A new EfM group is forming at Epiphany and will meet on Monday evenings throughout the year. We are still able to accept a few more members before the program begins in February. If you are interested in learning more about EfM and the group that is forming, please contact either Melissa or Andy Tomat at atomat@roadrunner.com
Weekday Catechesis of the Good Shepherd!
Tuesdays at 3.30pm.
There is now a weekday session of CGS for Level II age children (7-9+) All those in Level II are welcome, as are those in the older Sunday school class who wish to be involved. We meet in Room 2 of Mitchel Hall. Contact Karen James for more information.
Educate for Hope (Outreach and Children’s Ministry Fundraiser)
Last Sunday we started the fundraiser for Educate for Hope, to pay for a year’s tuition for a child at the Latin-Patriarch School in Palestine’s West Bank. Due to the generosity of our Epiphany folks, the great news is we almost have enough to pay for two children to attend school! Thank you to all who have contributed so far, it was wonderful to see the children paying a dollar or two from their allowance, along with adults who were able to write a check or put in cash! If you still wish to contribute it is not too late, you can still give. There will be a donations table out during coffee hour after both services on Sunday.
Checks should be made to The Church of the Epiphany and the memo line should read EDUCATE FOR HOPE. Thank you again
EYG (Epiphany Youth Group)
Today we start meeting in Bishop’s Hall from 9:00 a.m. – 9:45. We are postponing our field trip to the Museum of Tolerance to later in the year.
Outreach
There is an Outreach Meeting today after church in the Founder’s Room. All are welcome.
