Epiphany is a special church, just a little bit different from most churches.

Fr. Mike Epiphany is a special church, just a little bit different from most churches. That is because we were started with a unique purpose: to build a church in southwest Las Vegas/Henderson. Those of us who have since joined the congregation may have heard of this purpose, but have we made it our own purpose? Is it a part of your mission and mine?

So I’m sitting here under the redwoods in sunny, cool northern California, thinking of you. A little bit of distance, a little bit of relaxation, and the mind wanders… Here’s an idea:

People feel the loss of corporate worship. People feel guilty for missing Sunday worship. Read More...

Jesus is talking to the disciples as the journey toward Jerusalem and his passion, death, and resurrection. He’s asking them to follow him. This is his sales pitch?! “…nowhere to lay his head.” “…(Not) fit for the kingdom of God.” Read More...
I absolved my friend yesterday of making rude gestures at another driver.

There is an incredible amount of life unfolding in our community right now: warm, joyful news of birthdays and budding romance and cancer in remission, of graduations and project completion and pregnancy… and heavy, heart-breaking news of isolation and terminal cancer and divorce, of the sundry human failures… not to mention the normal, day-to-day exhaustion and heroics of existence together… Life is full.

It seems like only yesterday my family and I left Indiana for the new and strange world of desert living and Las Vegas. We had a church community there that felt more like family and we were missing our friends desperately. Read More...
