As Fr. Michael mentioned Sunday, Steven Tomlinson  will be with us for the rest 
of this year and part of next year.   He is a senior in the Iona School of Ministry at 
the Seminary.  Let's try and remember to wear our name tags to help Steven.
​October 27, 2022
Some words from Fr. Michael regarding Bible Study:
"Bible study will reconvene this Sunday to determine our path going forward.  Our 
Ministry Student Steven Tomlinson(maybe by next week we can just say"Steven")
has offered to help us decide what approach we would like to take.  This is an 
excellent opportunity  for anyone who has thought about coming to Bible study to 
help shape how we go about it.  We meet after (toward the end of) coffee hour in
the parish hall."

Expanded Ministry At Epiphany:
Now available to the Sick and Infirmed are the Eucharistic Visitors trained by Fr.
Michael to bring communion to you.  If you want one to bring you communion
please contact Rufus Arrington, or, of course, Fr. Michael.  We want you to know
that you are an important part of the Body of Christ.  This is part of the outreach of
Pastoral Care to our Parish.

The Daughters of the King will meet this coming Sunday in the Library after
Church.

The Epiphany Women's Bible Study will be November 8th in the Library.

Some words from the Sr. Warden: We recently saw a wonderful improvement in our church property with the removal of some dead trees.  (Thank you Jr. Warden, Rachel!)  That work fee ran $3000.  Help with this is needed and would be  GREATLY appreciated.  You can designate a gift by marking:  Lawn Fund for Trees. Thank You So  Much to those who have already donated. We are planning to replace the fencing around our Trash Cans.  The work will be done as a Boy Scouts  Service Project (thank you Georgie!) and materials are being donated.   A Big Heads-Up:  Many are aware that we have a leak in our Parish Hall roof.  It has been temporarily  patched (thank you JJ!) and we've had inspections by our insurance company.  They've awarded $8,865.23  (yeah!), but we know that the repairs will probably run much higher.  We are getting estimates from at least  3 roofing companies and will keep you informed. Fr. Michael has already informed you of the replacement for Dianne Williams.  We are awaiting hire processing  by the Diocese and anticipate her starting Nov.1.  We'll announce her name etc. as soon as it's "official". (Thank  you Deana, for "point work"!) More Improvements: We are purchasing 3 new computers to help with our church music and zoom  broadcasts.   This will be paid for by already given funds and should make our technical systems much more reliable.  Thank you Susan for purchase efforts! Pledge Cards-Please prayerfully consider your response and return those cards.  You can mail them to  the church office, or return them in the collection plate on Sundays.Those financial gifts keep Epiphany  going and we need to know in order to plan.  God Bless you!  God Bless You! There is so much going on at our church!  Thank you EVERYONE for your continued help and generosity.  We have
 a vibrant life at Epiphany because of YOU!  Love and blessings in abundance,
Linda

A NOTE FROM DIANNE WILLIAMS:
 " I want to thank the wonderful people/friends at Epiphany for the gracious 
reception and gifts on Sunday before my last day - that includes the church, DOK, St. Anne's and Fr. Michael - everyone. It was so hard to say good-bye. All of you have been my family and friends for so many years. God blessed me by bringing me to Epiphany, and it has been so fulfilling for me. There was never a day that I went to the office and 
wished that I hadn't been there. I am so grateful I hope that some of you will visit John and me in Rockport. It is wonderful here, even though we are still stepping over boxes. We have a guest bedroom and all are welcome to visit. The new address is 230 W. Pompano Dr., Rockport, TX 78382."
Blessings,
Dianne"
