Stories to Live By

Sermon | June 19, 2022

It is a profoundly human impulse. We want to know how the big story, the meta story, touches our story, How the global becomes local becomes personal. We want to know how the story is our story. It was three years ago, It was Monday in Holy Week, When some of us and scores of

Living the Resurrection Life

Sermon | May 1, 2022

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. My name is Diane Carlisle and I am the Head Verger here at Epiphany. Epiphany has been Terry’s and my spiritual home for almost 40 years. Two weeks ago, in this very space, we celebrated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus

The Unstoppable Hope Plays Out

Sermon | April 24, 2022

Happy Eastertide. I hope you had a meaningful Holy Week and a joyful Easter. I preached Easter morning about the “what” and the “who” of Christianity. I built this sermon on the theme of unstoppable hope; about how hope is something we seek through expectations, and dreams, and optimism, and I pointed out that it

The Great Vigil

Sermon | April 16, 2022

Tonight, I’d like you to join me on a journey to the Holy Land. I have been there 10 times, and tonight, I look forward to returning there with you. It is a journey that continues the exploration of our souls as so illuminated by Kelli on Maundy Thursday and Susan on Good Friday. We

Good Friday

Sermon | April 15, 2022

Dear Epiphany, I’m taking a moment to step back from sermon preparation for Holy Week to write you this letter of introduction to a new dimension of worship being introduced and Epiphany… iconography. We have had icons in our midst since I’ve arrived at Epiphany. We have had icon writing classes and classes teaching how

The Upper Room

Sermon | April 14, 2022

I am Kelli Martin and I have been a parishioner at Epiphany Parish for almost 4 years. This evening we celebrate Maundy Thursday. We get kind of funny about this day. No matter how gently or funnily or casually we try to talk about foot washing, somehow it always comes back to that. But Maundy

The Great Absurdity

Sermon | April 10, 2022

Today’s Palm Sunday reading always distracts me. There Jesus is with his disciples, and he asks two of them to go to a particular house, and retrieve a colt for him that has never been ridden. He knows the one he wants, even saying to his disciples, “If anyone questions you, tell them the master
