Special Notices for March 15, 2020
Dear Epiphany community,

As I reminded you in yesterday’s email, the church is the people, not the building, and our worship as a community was able to continue today, even in the midst of the coronavirus.

We had 98 logins today for Morning Prayer, many of those representing multiple people, which means well over 100 people worshipped together online.

I was moved by seeing your faces and hearing your voices during the intercessions as we were reminded of how deeply connected we all are, even when we are not able to be in the same space together. 
 
Evan Bassett preached a timely sermon this morning and you can listen to it here .
 
The clergy and staff will offer Morning Prayer at 9 a.m. each morning, Monday through Friday, on Zoom, using the same link we used today. The information on how to login is below.

You might consider adding this as a spiritual practice during Lent and as a way to connect to your community while we are apart. 

Grace and peace,
The Rev. Amy Dills-Moore
Priest in Charge
