On Sunday mornings, Epiphany offers Nursery care from 8:00 AM to 12:30 p.m. We employ a professional caregiver during that time, but depend on volunteers to assist. In Sunday School, volunteer teachers work in teams from September through May, using the Episcopal Children's Curriculum, Godly Play, Rite 13, Journey to Adulthood and Young Adults in Church (YAC). Classes meet promptly at 10:00 a.m. and conclude by 10:50 a.m. Parental support is a great help.
 In addition to these weekly ministries, many wonderful activities provide opportunities for children and youth to learn about the faith while getting to know each other. The Halloween Carnival is an old-fashioned spooky-fun event for children of all ages. Sponsored by the Children's Ministries Committee, it welcomes all parishioners (costumed or not) to attend (and help set-up). The Advent Workshop is fun for families and excellent for all interested in preparing for the holiness of Christmas. Every year St. Nicholas visits Epiphany at the St. Nicholas Party on December 24, when the children hear the story of his life, andeveryone enjoys lots of sweets. | |
 In preparation for the Epiphany Pageant volunteers are always needed for the annual Goodies & Crown Making session when holiday leftovers are swapped and shared while the pageant crowns are created. Epiphany celebrates every  Easter Sunday with a traditional Easter Egg Hunt! Our older teenagers hide the eggs for their young sisters and brothers in Christ. During the summer, things slow down and open the way for Vacation Bible School (VBS), a fun, worship-centered, activity-intense summer week. Children ages three through 11 are "students"; older children serve as invaluable helpers. We offer before-and-after-school care, which conveniently extends the VBS day for many parents.
Our Children & Youth Ministries are overseen by our Associate Rector, The Rev. Cynthia Hizer. Feel free to contact her you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help with one of the programs.
