Letter from the Senior Warden

Can you believe it’s 2025? Looking back on 2024, we were brought some challenging moments, but we came together and as a result of your commitment and God’s good hand, our ministries proved strong. And now we look at this new year and see the work before us.

We’re on a journey together at Epiphany and we’re asked to make a difference in the lives we touch here and beyond. We are abundantly blessed with so many gifts to share — gifts of time, some enormous talents, and treasure. We freely give to support our ministries and missions, not out of a sense that we will get back what we give, but because we are motivated by love.

We want to grow our community and share that love! We need to expand and update our Nursery so we can welcome younger families. We need to move our administrative office and that will need some updating. We are called to continue our current outreach efforts – every one of them. We’re hiring a full time Priest in 2025 to give us spiritual guidance and Christian formation. All of this is part of our journey together at Epiphany. And it’s the work of God in our lives.

December 1, Pledge Sunday, marked the “official end” of our pledge drive. Remember that pledges are not just numbers, our pledges support our ongoing work and we have a lot of work to do in 2025. A big thank you to all of you who’ve already pledged. At the moment, we are still short of our pledge drive goal, so I ask you to please prayerfully consider pledging if you have not done so already.

The Vestry, along with our treasurers, put together information in the Narthex for you to see the different perspectives as to what the ministries and administrative costs are and how your pledges support them.

Thank you for making a difference with your pledge. Thank you for your generosity now and throughout the year. Together we will continue to transform our lives here at Epiphany, and do God’s work in 2025.
