A Prayer For This Web Site
Almighty God, you proclaim your truth in every age by many voices; Direct, in our time, we pray, those who speak where many listen and write what many read; that they may do their part in making the heart of this people wise, its mind sound, and its will righteous; to the honor of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
"For those who Influence Public Opinion,"
Book of Common Prayer, page 827




In our church, neither a person's gender nor their sexual orientation matter; what does matter is how they serve Jesus Christ as Lord.

If You Wish to Come Visit Us For a Service

First Things First

1. We'd be delighted to have you come to a service, and hope you will return.

2. We suspect you might have questions. Everyone was a newcomer at one time or another, and we've all had questions -- probably the same ones. So -- do not hesitate to ask questions.

3. We want you to be comfortable so you can worship God and enjoy your visit. You can't do that very well if you're wondering what book to pick up next or trying to 'do everything right,' which generally means doing the same thing as everyone else is doing. ... SO ... relax ...

The first rule is: When you are worshipping God, you can't get it wrong!
The second rule is: If you need help, ask the person next to you, or one of the ushers. We like people at Epiphany Church.
The last rule is: Do not do anything which makes you feel uncomfortable, regardless of what anyone else is doing.

You can do whatever makes you feel comfortable and you should not do anything which makes you feel uncomfortable.

If you are wondering "Am I allowed to take communion here?" the answer is YES, if you are baptized and consider yourself a Christian, then WE HOPE YOU WILL SHARE IN COMMUNION (The Lord's Supper or Eucharist) WITH US!
