We are also growing in our ministry here at Epiphany. Several Vestry persons led by Tim Gaffney have been working to improve how and what we communicate at Epiphany. That is why you are probably reading this in an email or on our webpage. It is challenging, but abandoning some old ways of doing things and working to use technology more effectively has been a sign of life within the Vestry and the parish.

That old saying ‘you can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ just isn’t so! It isn’t with me, it isn’t with Epiphany, and it is not with any who journey on the road that leads to life. There is always MORE for us as Christian believers—more forgiveness, more healing, more understanding, more power to serve, more opportunities that await us. Easter is a season of new life, and that new life is something that is available to all who open themselves to the possibility. Growth is sometimes hard, it can be tempting to remain in a rut of familiarity and think that is as good as it gets, but growth is an open door God always makes available to us.

May this Easter season be a time of growth and transformation, a time when we all can receive some of the ‘more’ that God desires us to possess. May St. Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians may be realized in us as well: “I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:18-19)
