Welcome to Epiphany!
Marina is a city that is at the crossroads of our county and one of the most diverse cities in the nation. The opportunity to meet so many people, from so many places adds adventure and fun to our community. As one of your neighbors, we would like to take a moment to introduce our special community within Marina - Epiphany Lutheran & Episcopal Church.
We are a true blend. Diversity for us is more then a culture or ethnicity. It is the way of our faith life. With both the Lutheran (ELCA) and Episcopal Churches coming together under one roof, we truly express diversity in our walk of faith.
We do not always see the world through the same eyes of experience, so we search and celebrate the faith touchstones that can bring us to a commonplace of experience. Our Sunday Worship and experience is a blend of historical traditions, worldwide community, contemporary music, as well as prayer and fellowship of other sojourners; all with a focus on the integrity of our blended community.
What will you see at Epiphany? Our average Sunday worship is about 45 people, in a small chapel (Church membership is over 120 and growing. But, not everyone comes every Sunday). However, the chapel is still large enough, that if you want to be quietly unnoticed and check things out, you can. Music that is contemporary (not Praise), with a choir that will amaze you. We do not seek perfection in the worship, we celebrate our gifts. Some people dress casual and some in their Sunday best. You will see a community dedicated to community service and making our world a better place. We strive for excellent preaching every Sunday (We realize that even the preacher can not reach perfection every Sunday). However everyone will welcome you, and we can promise that you can be you; the whole you!

A message from Bishop Lucinda about the School Shooting in Uvalde, Texas
May 24, 2022 A message from Bishop Lucinda
Dear Beloved of El Camino Real,
Just a few minutes ago, we learned of another tragic school shooting, this time in Texas. For those who oppose gun violence, this is another example of our failure as a society to protect our youngest and most vulnerable. For those who have school-age children and grandchildren, the tragedy is visceral, appalling and sickening.
Those 18 children woke up this morning thinking about their school day, and this was not in their imaginations.
Those 18 children went to school thinking of the homework that was done or not done and how they would explain the latter.
Those 18 children played with their friends, traded friendship bracelets and jokes and dares, and passed notes in class.
Those 18 children, unimaginably, will not come home tonight.
Write to your congresspeople about weapons bans using the links below. Vote for safe gun laws. When you see violence in any form, point to it and speak out against it. As followers of Jesus, we are not violent people, and our love must be fierce in defense of those most vulnerable.
Please pray for these children, for their families. Listen to the cries and wailing that echo throughout our country, the unspoken question being asked, “How long, O Lord, how long?”
We cannot be complacent in our response to this tragedy. For our answer must be, "No Longer." I commend you to brave speech and firm stance against any violence.https://mailchi.mp/realepiscopal.org/bishoplucinda-holyweekmessage2021-1319861?e=3240e413eb
