Epiphany celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the three Wise Men, and by extension to all of us. More generally, epiphany means “a striking appearance, or revelation, or coming suddenly into view.” How is Christ shining forth in this century? How can we see the incarnation in current events? Join Barb and Paul Laymon to discuss epiphanies in 2023, using the miracle stories in John as a scriptural basis. This week, we consider justice and the work of EDOW’s Task Force on Reparations, which was commissioned by Bishop Budde to help the diocese “recognize, wrestle with, and attempt to make restitution for its history and participation in white supremacy and anti-Black racism ….” Please join us in person or via Zoom for this timely presentation and discussion.

The growlers are back! Take home a growler (or two!) of your brew crew's finest, available after services on Sunday. Pouring our favorite "St. Paul" porter, a nice IPA, and (yes, still!) a nice Okoberfest lager.

The author uses his own story along with social history to help the reader go beyond awareness of racism in order to work toward a just society. Join us in person (or via Zoom) at 7 p.m. on February 3. A light dinner will be provided. Questions? Contact Sandy Hussey.

Last Saturday, St. Mark's and Christ Church hosted a breakfast for the Stanikzais and other Afghan families we have met this past year, and for the volunteers, donors, and interested friends who have helped support these families. We are especially thankful to the CC+WP Mens Group for flipping pancakes and scrambling eggs; Kim Bayliss of St Mark's, who organized the event; and to many CC+WP and St Mark's parishioners who helped and/or joined us. Contact Sherry Saunders if you want more information about our support for Afghan Refugee Families through our partnership with St Mark's.
