Meeting God in the Dark
Our Meeting God in the Dark will screen Finding Joe, a documentary that explores mythologist Joseph Campbell’s idea of “the hero’s journey,” a fundamental story arc that is found in the stories told in every human civilization of every age—including the story of Jesus of Nazareth. The hero’s journey is a metaphor for the journey that each of us is invited – by God – to take. If we are to fully experience the life that God has given us, we must accept the call and the adventure that proceeds from our acceptance. Following the film we will share our reactions and express how the hero’s journey is a way of understanding our Christianity.

Daffodil Bulb Planting
It's Fall - - and springtime flowers may not be on our minds, but this is the season for planting the bulbs because they need a period of cold temperatures and time to grow roots. Thus we invite all of our Epiphany families and others to join us for a daffodil bulb planting workshop on Sunday, November 10th following our 11am family mass. Through the New Yorkers for Parks's "The Daffodil Project" we have 275 bulbs to plant and need your help. Under the supervision of our music director, Jack Cohen, who has graciously taken on the gardening out on the plaza and street, we have many many pots that need you to plant the bulbs in. This is sure to be a fun time together while we help with God's creation that will surely beautify our neighborhood, come Spring. We hope to see many of you in the Parish Hall after mass on the 10th.
