Weekday Eucharistic Liturgies

Holy Day Liturgies

Rosary

Communual recitation of the Rosary is celebrated every Monday evening at 7:15 PM in the Chapel.

Taizé Prayer

Taizé prayer is a meditative form of prayer. It is based on the musical style of prayer celebrated at the ecumenical monastic community of Taizé, in Burgundy, France. Through the repetition of musical phrases over and over, your body and your mind slow down enough to be able to listen to the voice of God that is planted deep within you.

Taizé prayer is celebrated at 6:50 AM on the first Friday of every month and on every Friday morning in Lent.

Labyrinth Prayer

Epiphany has a permanent outdoor labyrinth that can be prayed privately at any time. This labyrinth is locacted on the hillside rise on the northeast entrance to the Worship Center. It is accessed by a path from the southeast cornor of the main parking lot. There is also a raised miniture glass labyrinth in this area for those with walking or vision disbabilities, that can be prayed by moving one's fingers over the raised path of the "Finger Labyrinth."

Epiphany also has a fabric labyrinth that can be used indoors. It is set up in the Community Center on a number of occasions. Please see the Worship Ministry page or Check the weekly bulletin for current information on times for indoor labyrinth prayer. Postings will aslo appear in the Prayer Times Calendar.

About the Labyrinth
The labyrinth is an ancient, sacred symbol found in many religious traditions throughout the world. During the Middle Ages, labyrinths were prominent in numerous cathedrals in Europe, where Christians walked floor labyrinths or traced their fingers along the carved ridges of wall labyrinths. For medieval Christians, the labyrinth was a symbolic pilgrimage: instead of taking a costly and dangerous pilgrimage to Jerusalem, worshipers made a symbolic journey on a cathedral labyrinth. The best know of these Christian labyrinths is in Chartres Cathedral in France, which was built during the 13th century. Today labyrinth prayer has become a popular form of meditative prayer.

Special Prayer Groups

Epiphany has a variety of special groups who gather for meditative and contemplative prayer. Schedules and times vary. Please see the Worship Ministry page and the Prayer Times Calendar for more information.
