Pastor's Weekly New
December 12, 2024
Dear Members, Friends, and Guests,
My message this weekend will be “Rejoice?”, based on the Epistle from Philippians 4: 4-7.
On Sunday, we will host our annual Angel Tree Christmas Party. Here’s an excerpt from an email from Paul Beyer, our Outreach Team Leader: “38 special guests have RSVP'd for this Sunday's Angel Tree Christmas Party!!!!! This is all thanks to your fantastic efforts. This breaks down to 21 children from 8 families along with their caretakers and some extended family. As of right now, we do not have any gifts that we have to plan for delivery and all 21 gifts have been received and accounted for. All glory and praise to our heavenly Father for giving us this opportunity to simply love on and care for our neighbors.” Thank you to all who participated in this very worthy outreach this year!
Finally, in less than two weeks, we will celebrate the birth of our Savior with two identical Christmas Eve Candlelight Services at 5 pm and 7 pm. The service format is beloved by Epiphany’s members, guests, and friends, and is filled with your favorite carols. Make time to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas by joining us in worship!
Joyfully Serving Jesus,
Pastor Mark

Dear Members, Friends, and Guests,
Root canal. Those two words make a lot of people cringe, mainly because they’ve heard horror stories from those who allegedly got one. The truth is that a root canal is no worse than having a filling. The last thing a dentist wants is for a patient to be writhing in pain when he or she is working on a tooth with precision.
Someone else pointing out your sins. If you’re like most sinners I know, you don’t react to it well. But John the Baptist didn’t care; it must be done. Owning up to sin is the first step of repentance. In our Gospel this Sunday, we see the result of taking responsibility for our sins – the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
Join us this Sunday as we journey to the Jordan River and discover how John’s message applies to us today.
Joyfully Serving Jesus,
Pastor Mark
