Church of the Epiphany // March 11, 2021
Spring has sprung in the Epiphany garden!
Join us for  
Virtual Worship on Sundays @ 11 AM
Sunday bulletin and announcements
Don't forget to spring ahead one hour.
Here's a tip to make losing that hour a little less painful: if you don't have time-specific commitments that day, set your clocks ahead on Saturday morning and absorb that hour into your busy day. Be sure to go to bed at the "new" time to make it much easier to get up in plenty of time for church on Sunday morning.
We ask your prayers -

Volunteer Opportunity with Friends of the Poor

On March 17, almost one year to the day of our first drive-through event, we will prepare for 1-thousand families. Volunteers are needed for one of two shifts: First Shift: 1-3:30 p.m. or Second Shift: 3-5:30 p.m. Volunteers will be needed for set-up, registration of vehicles, staging food under the tents and on the tables, preparing food bags, placement of food boxes/bags in vehicles, clean up and breakdown.

On March 31, we will hold our Easter Food and Easter Basket giveaway. We will prepare for 2,500 families. Volunteers are needed for one of three shifts: First Shift: 9 a.m. to 12 p.m; Second Shift: 12-3 p.m; or Third Shift: 2:30-5:30 p.m. In addition to the duties listed above, we will be looking for volunteers to help with the distribution of Easter Baskets.

Just a few reminders… closed-toed shoes/boots must be worn. Masks are required. Masks and gloves will be provided if needed. Social distancing guidelines will be followed. Please dress appropriately for the weather
