Welcome
We welcome to Epiphany today Fr. Don Haynes
and Fr. Ethan Ferguson. Fr. Haynes is a teacher and a Curate at St.
Matthew’s and Fr. Ferguson is the assistant at Holy Cross. We
are delighted to have them here today and pray God’s blessing
on them as they bless us today.
Health Ministry
After both our services today our nurses will
be available for blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar and weight testing.
At our next check up on April 9th it is our hope to have one of our
health professionals to speak to us. We express sincere thanks to
our nurses for their regular carrying out of this ministry at Epiphany.
We only hope that Epiphanites would take full advantage of the opportunity
provided and discipline themselves in the healthy eating and exercise
which is apart of the wholeness and healthy lives we desire.
Thanks
We express our thanks to all who made Christian
Education week and the Mothering Sunday exercise the grand event it
was. It is our hope that the exhibition about Archbishop Gomez’s
Ministry was informative and educational and our public witness and
procession last week was beneficial to our Evangelical Mission as
Christians.
Palm Sunday
Next week is Palm Sunday the beginning of Holy
Week. Our Palm Sunday procession will take place as usual beginning
at the eastern end of the Sea Grape Shopping Centre and processing
on to Prince Charles Drive to Commonwealth Blvd. and on to Epiphany
Way.
We will continue with the Passion according
to St. Matthew and Holy Communion. It is our hope that on our procession
we will be able to depict the highlights of the Passion story and
the Stations of the Cross will also be displayed by the Sunday school
and youth group.
Our Lenten Exercise
For the past four (4) Sundays members of our
Vestry have been giving presentations on the construction of our Sanctuary
and last week plans were posted as a presentation on how pledging
of specific amounts over long and short periods could be organized
to raise the $400,000.00 that we need to begin construction.
Today we make available to you pledge forms
for you to prayerfully consider and respond to as an indication of
your intention. We do not want to rush this part of the exercise but
we hope that we can get you to focus on the restraints we talked about
last week.
From Easter on to Sunday the 20th April we
want to collate your responses so that on that day when we celebrate
our 19th anniversary we can have a formal commitment to the beginning
of the construction exercise.
Stations of the Cross
Thursday evening’s Station of the Cross,
Holy Communion and Christian Education & Formation will continue
this week. This Thursday will be the last until the first Thursday
in April. It is our hope that the break that is necessary to accommodate
the Holy Week and Easter celebrations does not break the discipline
of our gathering for Christian Education & Formation.
