Lent & Easter 2025
Dear Friends at Epiphany,
In the middle of our long night God gives us hope. That is what the Easter is all about. The dispirited disciples needed at that moment in their lives to see the glory of Christ revealed. And when his glory was revealed, they were able to get their lives back on track again. And that’s what many of us need to know in the middle of our long night. God is still God. Christ is still Lord. Beyond the darkness–whatever that darkness may be–there is the dawn.
In The Londoner, an article said only four out of ten Londoners report being happy. But we all know that Church is a source of happiness. Research generally indicates a positive correlation
between church attendance and happiness, with studies showing that people who regularly attend religious services tend to report higher levels of happiness compared to those who do not attend church frequently; this is often attributed to the sense of community, social support, and positive values that religious communities can provide.
Here at Epiphany, we work hard and give a lot for our church which we have inherited from other generous-giving-committed-people of past generations, who built what we have today. It is our honour and joy to continue to build and grow our church in beautiful new ways. The wonderful upside to our hard work together is that we make friends over dishes and at fundraisers. In a world where many feel alone, we have our church family and friends. In other
words, the more we give, the happier and joyful we are.
Of course, church is also about outreach to others. Worship charges us up and sends us into the world for another week to serve, to love in Christs’ name and power. Worship changes us into
kinder gentler more loving people, and then we go out and change the world. This is a source of happiness as well.
Another wonderful thing here is that we never feel alone. We are in a community. Times may be tough, scary things may happen, but we have each other. So let us all mark our calendars, make the break and come out to all the great things that happen here at Epiphany. Please see, save, and mark your calendars with our upcoming events. Be sure to invite family and friends to come. Our church needs everyone right now.
Yours in Christ,
The Rev. Teresa Corrigan 519-671-0577
