Group and Building Bloc

If you enjoy using our lovely facilities and walking through our beautiful gardens, this is thanks in large part to—people like you! We benefit from the ideas and efforts of volunteers who contribute to care for our grounds and keep our building in good shape. The Grounds Group looks to be very active this year, from the Trees Atlanta planting day, to other planting and upkeep, and projects ranging from Parish-wide Work Days to opportunities for small group socializing over creation care as we participate in design, care and upkeep of our land—from flower planting to timber work, by Parish Groups, families, even individual adoption of projects and plantscapes. Look for further regular “walkabout” meetings to discuss projects and opportunities to be involved. Our building likewise benefits from volunteers who review and/or repair and/or guide us in the best ways to keep our space. Ideas, time and materials donated by the committee and other parishioners save the parish thousands of dollars each year and help to ensure that we continue to be able to use our facilities to welcome, worship and work.

Lexicon of Human Dignity

The Lexicon of Human Dignity is an information artwork display that tells the stories of thought leaders around Atlanta working to educate, engage and activate us to the challenges of our neighbors and teaching us how we might support them. The artworks provide easy to understand, picture-based stories of how eleven thought leaders across many topics and disciplines are working in their respective fields to support human dignity for our neighbors. The exhibit, originally created for an Epiphany Adult Formation program, now travels as a community-driven pop-up art shows hosted by a wide array of organizations across the Atlanta region.

Men’s Breakfast Group

If you’re a fellow who’s an early riser, perhaps knowing that a Men’s Breakfast Group meets after the Tuesday 7:00 a.m. service will encourage your involvement with this group of great guys.

Office Volunteers

General Administrative Assistance is invaluable, as volunteers assist with copying and folding the Sunday Bulletin and several parish-wide mailings during the year, answering the phones during staff meetings, or helping occasionally with data entry or running errands as special projects arise. If you have a weekday morning or afternoon to spare, enjoy phone work, copying, data entry, stuffing bulletins or are willing to be a Jack or Jill of all trades, then volunteer to help out in the parish office.
