Our Guest Ministers
As our resident guest priest for many years, Dr. Frank Hume-Dawson has filled in for Father Decker, our now retired Rector, in his absence. He continues to minister to Epiphany, his second home, during our pastoral transition. Rev. Frank currently makes the long journey from Harrisburg, PA to bring us the word of God.
On the first Sunday of Lent, March 9, 2025, the sermon was delivered by our former postulant, Deacon Alethea Long-Green-Thomas. Dec. Green-Thomas now served on the ministerial staff of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. For many years she has been a devoted and active member of the Epiphany Church family. 
A recent guest priest was Rev. Zacher Bayonne. Rev. Bayonne is a native of Florida and currently resides in Alexandria, Virginia. His sermons have been both relatable and thought provoking.
