Habitat for Humanity Workday
This Saturday
Epiphany Lutheran Church will be providing a Habitat for Humanity workday at 414 Flint St, this Saturday, October 21. We will meet at the church parking lot at 7:30 am and caravan to the work site. You can meet us at the work site if you prefer. A prayer and work assignments will begin around 8 am. Work will conclude around 3 pm. Lunch will be provided, please let me know of any dietary restrictions. At this point of construction, placing blue wrap around house and continuing with siding is on the schedule however, due to weather, materials, etc. this could easily change. Feel free to bring your own hand tools if you like, however, Habitat has plenty. No power tools please.
Chantel and her children will be blessed with this new home. Chantel has two boys ages 8 and 6 and a girl 5. She has been working at the Habitat Restore as well as volunteering on other Habitat houses under construction.
Join us and have some fun, camaraderie, and give back all in one day. Wow what a day it can be!!!!
Thank you for your smiling faces and willingness to help others in OUR community.

Epiphany Christmas Play
We are planning a wonderful Christmas play for this year! The play will be during the morning service time on Dec. 24 Christmas Eve! It is open for all ages! We need actors for speaking parts, carolers for singing Christmas carols, non-speaking parts for parts such as characters (such as animals, angels, and more), music makers (such as hand chimes and instrumentalists), and costume/prop designers. There will be sign-up sheets in the gathering area beginning this Sunday. Just check to see if you are able to be here during the morning time on Christmas Eve and sign up!
