Holy Week – 2026
Lenten Series – Begins February 22
Lenten Series | Sundays at 5 PM
Our Lenten Series is moving to Sunday evenings, starting February 22 at 5:00 pm. Yes, that means coming back to church—but trust us, we’ll make it worth your while.
We’ll begin the evening with Stations of the Cross, followed by a soup dinner (welcome back!), and then our Lenten program and conversation. It’s a chance to slow down, be fed in body and spirit, and walk through Lent together.

Church of the Epiphany’s Pop-Up Christmas Pageant!
Get ready for one of our most joyful traditions—Church of the Epiphany’s Pop-Up Christmas Pageant! Join us on Sunday, December 21 during the service for a playful, heartwarming, and totally memorable celebration of the birth of Jesus.
No acting skills required—truly! Everyone (and we mean everyone) gets a part. Just choose a costume on your way into the service and “pop up” when it’s your turn to read or play your role. It’s simple, it’s spirited, and it’s a beautiful way to step inside the Nativity story together as a community.
Come ready to laugh, participate, and celebrate the wonder of Christmas. We can’t wait to see which role you’ll bring to life this year!
Christmas Eve Service – 3 PM
