| From Rev. Christen's Desk |
Our thoughts and prayers are with Rev. Christen & Dan this week. Dan's father, Bill Hicks, passed away Sunday night.
Rev. Christen will be taking some personal time this week. The plan is to still have the noonday Eucharist with healing prayer service on Wednesday.

| We are entering the home stretch at the Pumpkin Patch! |
|
The Epiphany Parish Pumpkin Patch is open for business and we have openings at the following times this week - please consider signing up. There are only 9 more days that we need to staff the patch!
Wed, Oct 23: 1:30 to 3:30pm & 3:30 to 5:30pm
Thurs, Oct 24: 3:30 to 5:30pm
Fri, Oct 25: ALL SHIFTS
Sun, Oct 27: 9:00am-12:00pm
There are two ways you can sign up to work at The Patch. We will have the "traditional" paper sign up board in the undercroft, and we will also have an on-line sign up (so you can sign up from the comfort of home!) It's easy:
Here's how it works in 3 easy steps:
2)
Review the options listed and choose the spot(s) that fit into your schedule.
3)
Sign up! It's that easy - you will NOT need to register an account or keep a password on SignUp.com.
Note: SignUp.com does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, please contact the church office and we can sign you up manually.
Either way, we hope you will plan to be part of this great fellowship and fundraising activity!

Having lots of fun in Sunday School! This week we talked about all of the plagues - flies and blood and darkness and Passover, oh my! The kids acted out the plagues and we enjoyed ourselves!
As Jason discussed during the announcements, the older class is collecting money for the Heifer Project. This is a wonderful program where, for very little money, the kids can purchase a goat or a cow or a flock of chickens or a "share" of one of these if we do not collect enough for a whole animal. Parents: Please remember to give a dollar or some change to your Sunday Schoolers, so we can increase the total we have to spend. The older class will keep track of how much money is collected, and can discuss the options of where to spend it. Please help us out, with this outreach project!
We are looking f
orward to seeing everyone on Sunday...
Don't Forget! Please be sure to arrive by 9:45.
We have a Junior Church service that will begin
promptly at 9:45.
