Daffodil Planters and Daffodil Lovers – last fall the church’s children and teens planted 800 daffodils, one for each church member and a few to grow on.  These daffodils are now emerging, so take a stroll to the Memorial Garden to watch their progress.  Also, if you are a gardener and have some divisions of perennials for shade (of the deer-resistant varieties) that you would like to donate to this new church garden area, please contact Helene Eccleston.

Fall Sunday School Teacher Sign Up
Are you interested in being a teacher again next year?  Is this part of your ministry? The Children of Epiphany hope so.  Do you know of anyone else that would be good at working with youth, helping to establish solid values and spread the word of God?  There are opportunities for teaching at all age groups.  For current teachers you do not need to stay at the age level you taught at this year.  If you want to teach again next year but would like to be involved with a different age group please just sign up for the new age group.  Please make your commitment to teach this next year.  The sign up sheet is on the Christian Formation communication board.
