Stressed Out

Sermon | February 18, 2014

February 16, 2014, The Rev. Doyt Conn preaching

So here it is: Choose life, not stress. Choose God first and not the body, and stress will fall away, and the body will still be OK. Learn something about God by heart and make space for your soul to breathe. This is intentional evolution beyond the biology of fight and flight. This is the express train to the Promise Land and it is what I hope for our children and our children’s children. It is what we can pass onto them, if we possess it ourselves.

The Presentation

Sermon | February 2, 2014

February 2, 2014, The Rev. Kate Wesch preaching

And now, I rejoin you from the pulpit on a day in which we acknowledge and remember the presentation of the infant Jesus in the Temple. Our family; myself, my husband, and our 3 year old daughter, have welcomed a new baby boy into our midst. Myles is his name and he likes to smile, bringing upon himself obvious nicknames.

Becoming Servants of the Lord

Sermon | January 12, 2014

January 12, 2014, Charissa Bradstreet, MDiv preaching

…the heart of God; that is the glorious possibility that Israel can embody. This Advent we have considered what it means to step away from ways of living small, and to boldly choose to live large. In this passage, Israel is offered a picture of what it means to live large.

The Feast of Epiphany and Our 100 Year Celebration

Sermon | January 11, 2014

January 11, 2014, The Rev. Doyt Conn preaching

This is the feast of Epiphany. It is our Eponymous feast, or namesake feast, that we celebrate every year. But this year’s feast has increased significance as it marks the end of our 100 year building campaign. In truth Epiphany is a bit older than 100 years. She was founded in 1907. The Chapel was built in 1911. A timeline will be set at the back of the church after the service and I encourage you to take a look at it, and write on it. We have been handed a gem, a gift and tonight is the perfect night to celebrate what we have and what we are passing on.

Ark of Mercy

Sermon | November 19, 2013

November 17, 2013, The Rev. Doyt Conn preaching

Today we have the Noah story and I’d like to start by stating I believe this is a story of mercy.

Stewardship Witness

Sermon | November 10, 2013

November 10, 2013, Epiphany parishioner, Wellesley Chapman preaching
Look around and you can see the product of creative impulse here at Epiphany. In addition to the visual art you see everywhere, we have music: two organs, pianos, a harpsichord, a talented choir and a superb musical direction. Everywhere you look, you will find some one or some group expressing their faith and their struggle. We gather in groups to study, to pray, meditate, share a meal and to and serve others. We gather around the ornate the Saint John’s Bible and ask hard questions of one another.
