The Word This Sunday
January 19, 2020 - Second Sunday after Epiphany
Today’s gospel opens with further reflection on Jesus’ baptism. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the one anointed by the Spirit. In the liturgy we come and see Christ revealed among us in word and meal. We go forth to invite others to come and worship the Holy One and to receive the gifts of grace and peace made known among us.

The servant brings light to the nations

I love to do your will, O my God.  (Ps. 40:8)

Paul’s greeting to the church at Corinth

Choir Practice Starts Again January 26th!
Come join the choir every week at 9:15 am beginning 1/26/20 as we prepare our selections for Bishop Strickland's visit on February 16th as well as the Easter season. All are welcome - no experience necessary!
Children's Church was a big success last fall, and we need volunteers to keep moving forward! As of today, volunteers are covered for the month of January, but we need you to help starting in February! We will hold children's church two times a month (every other week). Please consider volunteering your time and sign up here . Contact Andria Prouty with any questions - thank you!
The next laundry pickup for Room in the Inn is on Tuesday, January 21st! We need four volunteers to help with the laundry by picking it up on Tuesday the 21st and returning it to Kingsway by Sunday, January 26th (it is too much for one or two people). Currently we only have one person signed up - if you can help with this ministry, please sign up here.
Mark Your Calendars for February 16th!
We are very excited to announce that Bishop Kevin Strickland, who was installed on October 5, 2019 as the Bishop of the  ELCA Southeastern Synod , has offered to visit Epiphany Lutheran Church.

He will be conducting a "Listening and Visioning" session with the entire congregation on February 16th in the Kingsway Fellowship Hall immediately following the 10 am worship service until about 2 pm - lunch will be provided.
Prayer Requests
Please remember to pick up a prayer card from the ushers during worship service and hand them in during the offering. You may also submit a prayer request online here . Thank you!
