PARISH LIFE EVENTS

​Coffee Hour

Coffee hour during the school year and Expanded Coffee Hour during the summer give us a chance to gather after worship. During the Summer, individuals or groups can volunteer to host an Expanded Coffee Hour.

Epiphany Pageant

In January the Epiphany Pageant and Potluck celebrates the coming of the Magi. In addition to the usual help with meal preparation, volunteers are needed for adult “extras” in the pageant and helping costume the children.

Agápe Supper

This dinner is the beginning of our Maundy Thursday Liturgy. While in the parish hall, and around the table, we will hear the gospel story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, wash each other’s feet, and celebrate the Eucharist. Then we will move into the church for the stripping of the altar and the reservation of the consecrated bread in preparation for our all-night vigil.

Easter Breakfast

There is a festive Easter Breakfast between services Easter morning, during which the parish children participate in an Easter Egg hunt.

Parish Picnic

At the picnic, we celebrate our program’s year end in May. The picnic takes place on the grounds of Epiphany, and we celebrate our Eucharist and honor the work we’ve done over the past year. Join us for a fun day of cooking out, picnicking and celebration.

Fall Kick-off BBQ

We gather together in August for a Homecoming BBQ to kick-off the new program and Sunday School year. Epiphany provides the BBQ, and parishioners round out the meal with sides and dessert to share. Children bring their backpacks for a blessing.

Parish Retreat

The Parish Weekend Retreat, held each Fall in the mountains at The Mountain Retreat & Learning Center, is a convivial, relaxing and beautiful time to enrich the ties of Epiphanites, families and friends. Volunteers help plan and lead events and activities.

Oktoberfest

Oktoberfest is an annual event for Epiphanites of all ages. It is celebrated in the courtyard with a menu of grilled sausages (or veggie option), German Beer & Wine (and non-alcoholic drinks), and a potluck of German-style sides and desserts.​

The Nativities Collection

Each year during advent, we set out a curated selection from our collection of nativities. In our narthex, 23 nativities are arranged to illustrate the birth story in Luke and in our gallery, 35 nativities are arranged to illustrate the birth story in Matthew. There are scripture and hymn texts that accompany the crèche scenes. This is part of a larger collection of 315 that began with a bequest of a collection that was bequeathed to Epiphany in 1995 by Dr. William Lemonds in loving memory of James Lattimer Anderson Belcher.
