Epworth Echoes Spring 2021

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!” Pictured on the left: Tiffany with daughters Olivia and Iza (left to right). Olivia is clearly delighted to have her mom and sister back in Minnesota.  

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.
