Outreach
We at Epiphany embrace the belief that as Christians, we are our
brother's and sister's keepers, and parish members involve themselves in a
variety of community activities not directed by any
particular church organization. Among these are Christmas
carolling at local geriatric homes and hospitals, home
visitation projects by individual congregation members,
prison ministry, conduct of worship services at Manatawny Manor and for
others unable to come to church, and many other Christian acts which ,
we hope bear witness to our faith and help us to grow in it. There is
always more than enough of God's work for willing hands.
We encourage community service organizations of all sorts to use the
church building for a variety of purposes, putting church property and
equipment at their disposal when possible.
Al-Anon, Alateen and Alcoholics Anonymous
Al-Anon and Alateen meet each Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. in the Education
Building. AA meets each Friday at 8:00 in the lower level of the Church.
The Spring-Ford Pastors Association and Project Outreach
Epiphany participates in maintaining the Emergency Fund and Food Pantry for those in
distressed situations in the Spring-Ford Community. Nickels for Nourishment is an
offering, taken monthly and designated to local, Diocesan or World programs for
the needy, especially in the mission against hunger. In recent years, Nickels
for Nourishment offerings have gone to Project Outreach, a program working
with the needy of this region, supplying them with food and other forms of support.
Episcopal Nursery School
This is also a public, nondenominational nursery school with accredited teachers.
There are currently two classes for four-year-olds and two classes for
three-year-olds. It meets in the Education building daily during the academic
school year from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
Coffee Hour
This is a noisy time for fellowship and meeting. It takes place after the 10:00 a.m.
service and is held in the lower level of the church building. A rotating staff of
volunteers prepare coffee, tea, juice, and "goodies" for everyone to enjoy.
