Dear Epiphany, Lord Jesus, Sun of righteousness, shine in our hearts, we pray; dispel the gloom that shades our minds and be to us as day. And it goes on: Give guidance to our wandering ways, forgive us, Lord, our sin; restore us by your loving care to peace and joy within.
A Holy Season of Lent
Introducing the Gospel of Mark: 5 Minutes at a Time
I think my attention span has atrophied during the pandemic, or maybe I’m just distracted by all the craziness in the world, or maybe my mind is just wearing out, but irrespective of cause, the reality is that bite-size information input is sometimes just better. And so, for those of you like me, I am
The Times They Are A-Changing (Starting February 21)
1st Sunday service: 8:45 am 2nd Sunday service: 10:45 am You might not know this, but I’m a moderately big Bob Dylan fan, and while he didn’t inspire me to change in-person Sunday morning service times, he did remind me to remind you that, indeed, the times are a-changing. 9:00 am is now 8:45

What is
Tomorrow is the Feast of the Epiphany

Join us at Virtual Epiphany this Thanksgiving
Dear Epiphany, Thanksgiving will be different this year. It will be our Thanksgiving in the Great Timeout, and, well, at least for me, that is a hard thing to be thankful for. At the very least, this plague is what is keeping so many of us apart on what is normally a holiday of friends
Welcome to our New Website
Dear Epiphany, Welcome to EpiphanySeattle.org. We have a new website. It was built to be an online spiritual center of gravity around which your spiritual journey can orbit. This has been a project with a long, long gestation period; that said, I think it came into being at just the right time. Why would I
