Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and Robert Radtke, President of Episcopal Relief & Development discuss the situation in Haiti following the devastating earthquake in a video here: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/mission.htm.  The two leaders also share ways in which help can be provided, most notably by donating to Episcopal Relief & Development. The Episcopal Church welcomes all who worship Jesus Christ in 109 dioceses and three regional areas in 16 nations. The Episcopal Church is a member province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

The days from the Feast of The Epiphany (January 6th) until Ash Wednesday (February 17) and the beginning of Lent constitutes the Church's season of Epiphany.  "Epiphany" means to "show forth" or "Manifest."  The season emphasizes three themes.  First, the divinity of the child Jesus is manifest to the Gentile world (in Jesus' day that part of the world which was not Jewish) in the three wise men.  This represents the opening of God's salvation beyond the Jews to all of humanity.  Second, the first Sunday after The Epiphany features our Lord's baptism which manifests his ordaining by his heavenly Father as God's Son.  It is a Sunday set aside for administering the Sacrament of Holy Baptism in the Church.   And third, the second Sunday after The Epiphany features Jesus' first miracle, or "sign" when he changes water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana.  This "showing forth" of Jesus' supernatural powers is one of many "signs" featured in St. John's Gospel to lead people to belief in Jesus as the Messiah, the Christ, God's Anointed One.  The color of the season is green, and the emphasis is on convincing the hearers of the Epiphany stories that Jesus is indeed God's promised Savior of the World, it's Light and Life.

 

We are observing our "regular schedule."  Services of Holy Eucharist are offered on Saturdays at 5:30 p.m. (contemporary music); and Sundays at 8 (Rite I - "old" language, no music) & 10:00 a.m. (Rite II - modern language, traditional music). Join us for worship! Sunday School classes and youth groups are also in session. 

 

The windows of the Old Church are soon to be restored and memorialized. Read more.
