CHRISTMAS FOREST OF LOVE


As the Advent Season approaches, heralding the coming Christmas celebration of the birth of Christ, the Church of the Epiphany prepares to astound its neighborhood once again with a breathtaking display of Advent and Christmas light. Known as the Christ Forest of Love, over 100 Christmas trees are mounted on the plaza in front of our church, illuminating our neighborhood with sparkling blue and white lights. Each of these meticulously decorated trees is purchased by the church's dedicated parishioners and friends, who dedicate them to their loved ones with messages for all.

Each tree serves a greater purpose, as the proceeds from their sale are channeled entirely towards financing the church's Hunger Sunday meals for our homeless sisters and brothers. In the true spirit of the season, the Church of the Epiphany uses this annual event as an opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of those less fortunate.

In a world where the holiday season is often marked by lavish consumerism, the Church of the Epiphany's Christmas Forest stands out as a beacon of compassion, generosity, and our tribute to the light that the newborn Christ brings into all our lives.
