Broadway Series: The Sound of Music
 Few musicals have better captured a true story - or the heart of the audience more - than the Sound of Music. If you're like many, you may have caught yourself saying that it's, "One of My Favorite Things."
Join Phil Campbell in the next installment of our Broadway Series, tonight, Friday, February 24 at 7 p.m. as he shares the music and the back-stories of Maria von Trapp's life. And join Maria in her fearlessness and willingness to "Climb Ev'ry Mountain!"
Please consider bringing goodies to share with others if possible. Contact:

| Living our Baptismal Covenant in the Community |
| |
Our Baptismal Covenant challenges us to strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being. This is a value that is central to our life as a community of faith, stewards of the Gospel, and followers of Jesus. The Vestry has recently discerned a need of the Church of the Epiphany to explore this in depth together. Whether moved by current events, or called to action by the leaders of the church, philosophers and sages, parishioners have recently expressed an increased calling to work for Christian Values in the greater community. Many are looking for 'best practices' or avenues for expression, communication and justice.
Please join us, March 9, 6:30-8 p.m., for an organizing discussion. Likely topics:
- What does our Baptismal Covenant call us to be and do?
- Mission/purpose clarification; Group format & process
- Areas of interest & ideas
- Tools and education needed
- Upcoming public opportunities for action
- Internet resources for action
All are welcome!

The Joy of Confession:
Reclaiming Reconciliation in the Episcopal Church
March 5, 12, 19, 26, April 2
Maybe joyful is the last thing you associate with memories of going to confession. Perhaps you've heard a lot of talk about reconciliation in our divided world and wonder what it really means in terms of our faith. We'll be exploring this new book, currently a manuscript, to be published by Forward Movement in the summer and piloted now by our congregation. Copies available for free however a $3 donation would be appreciated to cover the cost of printing; please sign up on the clipboard outside the sanctuary to receive one. Each chapter will explore topics of "Sin," "Reconciliation in the Bible," "Shame/Guilt/Joy", "Forgiveness & Release," and "Resurrection and Renewal." |

| Fundraising for Kelly Chartier's surgery |
| |
Friends at Epiphany, many of you know the four Chartier children who have blessed our community and church school. And many of you know their mother, Kelly Chartier, who grew up at our church and her mother, Pat Lange. What you may not know is her struggle with a rare intestinal disorder over the last several years that now requires a special surgery not covered by insurance. Please consider giving what you can to support this chance for healing and a better quality of life for her and her family. She has persisted so bravely on a daily basis for love of her children, for the children she teaches at the Smithfield schools and for so many friends and family - so let's support her now with our love, our prayers and any financial gift we can. Please share the link widely with other friends and community members. |

| Credit Card Donation Kiosk |
| |
For those who seldom carry cash or would prefer to use a credit card, there is a kiosk in the entrance hall outside the sanctuary, next to the elevator, that allows you to use the "Square" app on our iPad to use your credit card. You may either insert your chip card, wave your phone for Apple Pay or swipe the magnetic strip on your card. You can designate your gift as a "loose plate" donation, give an offering for Sunday or holiday altar flowers or even contribute to your pledge. Ask an usher for help if you have any questions, but the kiosk is self-service. Give it a try today! |
