Stewardship

Treasure's note: Last year ended with below normal collections for the last two Sundays, but 2024 has started off well. Our current bank balance is $22.080.90 which is a good start. Meeting our $400,000 goal for pledges in combination with a significant increase in income from rentals should get us through the tough months of summer. - Louis

Grand Friends

Epiphany is bringing back the Grand Friends program in 2024, an initiative started by Pat Schroyer in the late 1990s to foster deeper connections between the younger and older generations of parishioners. The program is easy to participate in. Simply contact the Church office or coordinators, Pat Schroyer and Kathleen Bradford, to sign up. Participants will be paired with a Grand Friend and encouraged to connect with them through phone calls, visits, and other activities. The aim of the program is to bring the Church community closer together and promote a culture of care and support. Contact Pat or Kathleen through the Church office at 713-774-9619 if you have any questions or concerns.
