Nancy, Tiffany, and Iza: Happy to be home

Nancy relaxes at home



Nancy Caligiuri holds palms delivered to her for Palm Sunday in her beautiful new apartment in West St. Paul closer to her son, Adam, and his family. She is already making new friends since the complex is organized in small communities. We’re happy for you, Nancy!


Besides palms, Nancy also holds a stone given to her by Pastor Gail at a worship service when Gail was Epworth’s pastor. Nancy finds comfort in holding it.




Welcome back home, Tiffany and Iza!

We’re thrilled that Tiffany Mejia and her daughter Izabella relocated back to the Twin Cities in January after living in other states. They now live in Longfellow again. 


As Tiffany wrote on her Facebook page after getting her Minnesota license plates, “I guess this means I'm staying. Feels so good to be home!”

Grief and Blessings

"The Blessing of Tears" by Eleanor Cowles The Upper Room, March-April 2021   “When I think of God’s blessings, I think of family, friends, sunshine, or even my morning cup of coffee. Until recently, I never considered tears a blessing. … As we walk through life, we often miss blessings hidden in calamities. But while tears can blur our vision, they can also clarify our sight to reveal new truths. Perhaps we can see our way to reach out to someone in pain I believe when we have walked through pain and grief, we may be the path – and there our tears can meet. Truly, tears can be God’s blessing for this life.” CONTENTS  click the title to go to the article Nourishing Faith Adult Class: Joy, Grief, Prayers, “Slum Songs”  Devotional 2021:  Hope in the Wilderness Pastor Appointment: Sorrow, Blessing, Faith Pastor’s Column: God’s Time, God’s Plan   Welcoming All New Meditation Room: Welcome Peace Virtual Mission u 2021 Toy Library Transitions to WWW United Methodi...

Thank you and Christmas greetings Because we were not meeting for worship at church, the Echoes Editorial Board did not get to church to see the cards, letters, notes, and Christmas greetings Epworth received last Fall and during the holiday season. However, we still want to share them with you. The Christmas letters are too long to print here in their entirety but we share some excerpts with you below.   Dear Epworth Community, It wasn’t possible to enlist enough members to safely put down much and do extensive weeding this year so instead the Garden Club is making a donation. The club would not be thriving without your generous support. We were able to plant some iris, perennials and weed the rain garden. Thank you so much. Stay well, stay safe. Longfellow Garden Club Claire, Martha, Julia, Terri & Bev     We are so proud of your ministry and are so happy to be part of it!   Dennis & Gail [Alexander]     Sending my love to everyone at church.
