How can you serve Epiphany Parish? There are also many ways to serve the Parish through our many committees and ministries.  There are plenty of opportunities to serve in the areas of Outreach, Christian Education, Worship Leadership, and Welcoming/Social ministries. Please do not hesitate to speak with Fr. Alan if you are interested in serving on a committee (or two!). This is also a great way to get to know others in the Parish.

Altar Flowers - Do you wantto commemorate a special date in your life? Celebrate a birthday or anniversary? Honor the memory of someone special? Do you simply want to give thanks for a blessing? Flowers are a wonderful way to do so while adding a splash of color and beauty to our Sunday morning worship service. There are several dates in March & April still available. Please sign up on the sheet in the Narthex, call the parish office, or e-mail office.epiphany@verizon.net to reserve one of these dates or to check for future dates. Thank you!

Altar Guild is looking for metal coffee cans (13-16oz size) to be used to deliver flowers on Sunday following services. Please leave them in the sacristy or the church office.

Missing something? There are some new additions to our Lost & Found box. Please check to see if anything belongs to you. There are also several jackets (children's and adult) hanging on the rack in the undercroft. Please check to see if they belong to you or someone in your family.
