This Sunday the Prayer Lists will again be in the Narthex, one on the table where the bulletins are located, and one where the name tags are located. If you didn't get a chance to look over them last Sunday Please do so this Sunday. If you see a name that needs to be on the list, please circle that name if it has not been already circled. After this Sunday, it will be assumed that those not circled do not need prayers and will be taken off.

A Message from Karen Leitch: Dear Members of my Epiphany Family,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. Your prayers for me and my mother, Elsie Burt O'Neal have truly been a blessing. Her death onJune 20 was quick and peaceful. She was surrounded by 3 generations of her family. Thank you also for your cards of sympathy and support. Knowing that you care means the world to me.
God bless you all.

Those scheduled to serve this Sunday are Jim and Linda Dyke. Ushers will be Joe and Dolores Urias. The Vestry Person of the Day will be Elizabeth Drake.
Michael closed his sermon last Sunday with these words, "It strikes me that trying to separate the mundane and the divine (another way of saying temporal and the eternal) is not so much like trying to separate the sheep from the goats( and we must remember that is God's business, not ours) as like separating the eggs from the flour in a cake that's already baked. This is God's creation, full of things we call wonderful and those we call terrible. God is present everywhere if we just have the eyes to see. And besides that, we're more concerned about living in this worldly world in such a way that we keep sight of the God in whose image we are made and in whose kingdom we live now. Often, that takes patience, sometimes it seems impossible, and that is why we pray in today's Collect with these words:
'O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.' Thanks Michael
