Well, here we are in this 3rd week of Lent---time does fly. Sunday Nancy Stitt was back at church. She said that she wanted to come back because she felt so comfortable here. She visited the previous Sunday--Hope you got to meet her. And, Caden Walker brought his grandmother, Kay. Hope you got to meet her. Mom, Cissie ,is out of time on business, working. So , as we said last week, Epiphany is a warm and loving family, don't hesitate, share it, people will not only feel it but appreciate it.
It is with sad hearts that we inform you that Lue Mather, passed away Monday afternoon with John, her loving and devoted husband, and son, Mark by her side. What a wonderful person, and we thank God for sharing her with us. They were one of the first people to reach out to us whenever we first came to Epiphany. Sorry I did not get to see her on Carmilla. Please keep John, his family, the Lavery,and the Dasso families in your prayers. John has requested that in lieu of flowers, please make a contribution to Hospice. As soon as graveside services are scheduled, we will let you know. Lue will be interned at the Mather Cemetery(Mt.Cemetery) . We will let you when as soon as we know. A beautiful funeral Mass was given by Fr, Elmer at Eagle Wing Yesterday morning for the family.
We are also said to report that another longtime member of Epiphany, Helen Gibbs, also passed away on Monday as well. Her funeral will be Friday, March 4 at 11 A.m. at Edgar Funeral Home. Fr. Michael will officiate. Visiting will be on Thursday, March 3 from 6PM till 8PM. Burial will be at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Bertram. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
Wednesday evening our Lenten Series will continue with soup at 5:30, and study at6:00. Elizabeth Drake is bringing Cheese Pizza for bread, part of a School Fundraiser: SOO, IF YOU WERE TO BRING BREAD, YOU ARE OFF THE HOOK.
Just want to say THANK YOU to Diane Langley and Carol Hervey for doing the food for Men's Breakfast. It was wonderful, and even healthy, heh, heh.... Good to see Robert Winter there. He and Carol are getting ready for the arrival of their "Bees" this spring.

Don't forget, Sunday, March 13th, is Celebration Pot Luck, when we recognize the March Birthday people with a Special Birthday Cake. By the way, May Wright is bringing a brisket, Sandy is doing pinto beans, bring something to go with it. CELEBRATE........
Michael concluded his sermon with : "That's a lot about Moses. It's also a lot about us, if we substitute our own name for Moses." We probably won't be called to lead a people out of slavery and to a Promised Land, but whatever God does call us to do so, God will be with us. Our part is to remember that we are the created ones. God is the Creator. To stay humble in those terms. To turn our hearts and attention to God. To know that all things are possible for God, even using the likes of us to spread the good news of God's love for everyone."
Thank you Fr. Michael ; humnn, such a reminder for all of us during this Lenten Season.
Have a Blessed Week,
Carpe every Diem',
