| “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen”- Ephesians 3:20-21 Dear Friends, God’s power at work within us is a mighty thing to experience and behold. On reflection we often can celebrate and looking forward we can dream; we can reimagine the possible. Sunday is our Parish Annual Meeting with a hearty fellowship to follow – BBQ, hot dogs, and sides from many of us! You can sign up through links in the eNews. I hope you will come and get to hear our discoveries about what God has done and is doing through us all. This week’s Hump Day message is offered by Sue, our new preschool director. She won’t be with us on Sunday but she has kicked off the 2022-2023 preschool year beautifully! I hope you get to meet her. If you have not had a chance to meet her yet, she’s partnered up with an alpaca in one of the panes at the top series of images. Thank you for your message, Sue! -Dina+ |
Dear Epiphany,
If you had asked me a year ago what my plans were, I would have said I was going to take a step back from the early childhood education arena and write with intention. And yet, here I am serving as Director of Epiphany Episcopal Preschool, taking on a new role in my ministry journey. I never would have imagined – to God be the glory!
The past six months have been a whirlwind of activity hiring lots of new staff, welcoming returning and new students, and getting into routines. We have now arrived at the planning stages for next year, and we couldn’t be more excited! The preschool staff has been invited to imagine what our preschool might look like next year and how we might best serve the needs of the community. Yes, just like the Epiphany congregation has been living into its call to “Reimagine the Possible” – the preschool is experiencing a similar call.
We are thrilled to be adding an additional class next year as we continue to rebound from pandemic enrollment and staffing challenges. We are blessed with amazing teachers who love their job and their students. As we seek to serve as many families as we can, we encourage you to imagine how you might be a part of that! Tell a friend or neighbor about our program. Or, maybe you are curious about the preschool? Call me for a tour! We look forward to continuing this ministry partnership! Enrollment for church members began on 1/30 and starts for new families on 2/6!
