Thanksgiving Eve Worship Service
Our Thanksgiving Eve Worship Service will be tomorrow night at 7 pm. We invite you to make God a part of your weekend of thanksgiving and celebration.
This Weekend
We begin a new church year this Sunday with the First Sunday in Advent. I will also begin a new sermon series this weekend.
Sunday School and Adult Bible Study
Our on-campus classes will not meet this weekend due to the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Online Worship and Weekly Devotion
The 8:30 am worship service will be viewable every Tuesday and the bulletin is also available for download. Just go to our website and click under the Devotions tab.
A special Thanksgiving themed devotion will be available on our website tomorrow under the Devotions tab.
Holy Communion by Private Appointment
This week, because of the Thanksgiving holiday, Deacon Bob celebrates Holy Communion on Friday from 2:00-3:45 pm, and Saturday from 10am – noon in Room 220. We kindly ask all communicants to wear a mask.
If you would like to receive the Sacrament on this Friday, November 27 or Saturday, November 28, please email Pam by 5 pm on Wednesday, November 25 at Pam@EpiphanyChandler.org or call her at 480.606.8045.
Annual Quilting Fundraiser
COVID-19 has not stopped the Epiphany Quilters from working from home to bless charities that help children. This summer, the group made 70 lap size quilts for the Royal Family Kid’s Summer Camp, which serves kids in foster care.
The quilters are now beginning to make quilts for Orphan Grain Train but are low on supplies. If you would like to make a monetary donation to the quilters, feel free to drop a check in the offering plate made out to Epiphany, with a notation for quilters in the memo line. To make a cash donation, please see Pam at the Connecting Point tables.
The quilters also have quilts and face masks available for purchase. To order, contact Jean Weber at westsidewebers@cox.net
Angel Tree
Angel Tree 2020 is here and this year everything will be done virtually. Epiphany has been assigned 40 children. Angel Tree’s donation request is $42 per child.
As of last weekend, we still have 20 children who need sponsors. Please consider making a parent and child smile (and share Jesus’s Gospel with both) by participating.
Annual Christmas Concert
Our second Annual Christmas Concert will be Sunday, December 13 at 4 pm in the Sanctuary. Due to social distancing restrictions, we are limited the concert audience to 50 people. For tickets, please email Pam @ pam@epiphanychandler.org or call her at 480-606-8045. There is no charge for tickets to the concert.
Giving
Thank you for your continued regular and generous giving to Our Lord’s work through Epiphany. Despite the challenges that Covid-19 has thrown at us, the work of the proclaiming the Gospel has continued uninterrupted. As we begin the 9th month of our modified activities, we still appreciate you using the options at https://www.epiphanychandler.org/give/ to support the continued mission and ministry of Jesus through His Church.
