Prizes are needed for the raffle. Please consider donating a prize, such as dinner or car wash gift cards, a product of your creative talents, coupons for produce from your orchards or gardens; sport or fishing items, or cash donations. The possibilities are endless. Please let Deacon Martin know what prize you will donate. The Epiphany House Blessing in 2026 involves writing “20 + C + B + 26” on the door with blessed chalk. Materials are in the vestibule in small plastic bags with short instructions and blessed chalk. Although the blessing is traditionally done on January 6th, the blessing can be done at any time. Do you hear the call to Holiness, the call to community? Do you desire a deeper prayer life, a deeper spirituality, a deeper union with God?
