Telling the Story of God

Christians mark time differently. From the beginning, the church has engaged in a unique rhythm by following its own calendar that relives the story of God throughout the year.

Epiphany

“Epiphany” comes from a Greek word meaning or manifestation” and is used in the Bible to describe to the appearing of Jesus Christ. Like Christmas, Epiphany is both a feast and a season. The Feast of Epiphany, celebrated on January 6th, commemorates the wise men’s journey to the infant Christ. The season of Epiphany, lasts anywhere from five to nine weeks (depending on the date of Easter and runs from the Feast to Ash Wednesday. It is a time to marvel at the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ. We focus our prayers and sermons on the way Jesus’ life (and our mission) makes God’s glory known.

“Truth, by which the world is held together, has sprung from the earth, in order to be carried in a woman’s arms.” St. Augustine

Understanding the Anglican Tradition

Rooted in the past, hopeful for the future

The Anglican Church is a global, vibrant and Christ-centered expression of the Christian faith with a rich history that still shapes our beliefs, lives and worship today. We hold much in common with other Christian traditions and are committed to humbly following Christ and the mission of His Church.
