Epiphany Lutheran Church

Epiphany Lutheran Church Epiphany is a creative and dynamic congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We gather on Sunday mornings for worship at 9:30 a.m.

Nearly all of our members have come to Southern Illinois from somewhere else, so we are uniquely welcoming of newcomers :-) The sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated every Sunday. On the second Sunday of every month we offer a Jazz Vespers service at 5:00 p.m. During the seasons of Advent and Lent we also worship on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. Epiphany Lutheran Church participates in SIU C

ampus Ministries and has a Registered Student Organization (RSO) at Southern Illinois University. We are affiliated with LuMin - the campus ministry organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Presiding Bishop Yehiel Curry has issued his first in a series of monthly messages that will continue through the end of this year under the title "All Together in One Place."

Each message will share a pastoral word, rooted in Scripture, that witnesses to God’s presence today, our rich theological tradition and the social teaching that connects us.

Read the full message through the link in the comments below.

Congratulations to another one of our student athletes!

Congratulations to Miranda Searcy on earning their Master of Divinity from Wartburg Theological Seminary!

Miranda’s ministry and scholarship reflect a deep commitment to exploring the intersection of q***r, Indigenous, and Lutheran theologies while faithfully serving the church and community. A citizen of United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, Miranda has also served as Vicar at Trinity Lutheran Church, bringing compassion, wisdom, and authenticity to ministry.

May this milestone be only the beginning of the many ways your voice, leadership, and faith will continue to shape the church and the world. Congratulations, Miranda!

Thank you, Deb Sarvela!

MONTHLY GIVING – LIFETIME IMPACT

Deb believes so strongly in LSSI’s ministry that she will match all gifts from new monthly donors for the first year. That means your donation of $20 each month will result in an extra $240 from Deb for LSSI’s clients. Please take her up on her offer!

Monthly gifts are critical for LSSI’s ministry. Reliable income means we can plan ahead and still respond quickly when unexpected needs arise.

Don’t underestimate the importance of your donations when they become part of collective giving. Small monthly gifts often add up to more than occasional larger donations. https://www.lssi.org/giving/monthly-giving/

Congratulations Anne Terry. Blessings to you and the people you’ll be serving!
