The 2nd and 3rd Sundays recognize other celebrations or events. Check the Fellowship Bulletin Board within Burkhardt Hall for additional Coffee Hour information.
Coffee Hour:
The Newcomers Wine and Cheese Social in the Memorial Garden is a tradition at Epiphany. The Social is held in the Fall, Winter, and Spring. We take the summer off since many Newcomers may not have yet adjusted to our dry heat. The Social is our way to greet new members or regular visitors who feel at home at Epiphany. Just sign our guest book and watch for the next scheduled Social. It’s worth the wait. For more information, please follow this link.

For over 35 years, this annual event has been a tradition at Epiphany. It takes place in late October and is a catered BBQ dinner served in the Church courtyard.

The Junior High Sunday school group sells desserts as a fundraiser for their “adopt a family program.” Tickets for the Harvest Chuck Wagon Dinner go on sale in late September and pricing is based on the meal ordered. The date this year is Saturday, October 22. Follow the link to the Happenings page for more info.
