We Welcome Our Newest Member
Eat and Greet is Epiphany’s version of Foyer Groups which were originally started after WWII in
Coventry, England in the bombed out ruins of the Coventry Cathedral. Small groups, numbering 8-10
people would gather for food, drink, friendship and communion with each other in rebuilding their
community.
Likewise, Eat and Greet groups of 8-10 parishioners gather together for a pot luck social meal where
the host/hostess provide the main course and beverages and everyone else brings the rest of the meal.
Members of the group rotate hosting the event once a month or so and are limited only by one’s
imagination. This is neither a competition nor an opportunity to air grievances. It is simply an
opportunity for us to be together, to welcome newcomers and to get to know each other better.
We are thinking of starting up the Eat and Greet after the New Year. If you are interested in learning
more about and/or being part of this ministry, please contact Bill Kohn at 702-407-5187 or at
[email protected] (that’s 4 ks).

Southern Mission District Mtg Two Diocesan Delegates, Carol Wagers, Carol Shaffer joined Betty-Jeanne Cousins at the Southern Mission District quarterly meeting at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church in Bullhead City , AZ on August 27th. It was announced that 60 children from the South attended Camp Galilee this summer. Melvin Stringer made his annual trip to Kenya and delivered 135 dozen pens and 125 dozen pencils donated by the parishes in the South to seven schools in Kenya. Thanks Epiphany for your donations.
It is wonderful how some of the parishes in the South wish to help Epiphany. Working together is the way to
go. We are so grateful for how other parishes and our own parishioners are looking out for this parish.
God has truly blessed this church.
Grace in the Desert has donated a small copier for use by our Church School teachers.
Kris and Bill Kohn donated a small TV for use in the classrooms when events are happening.
Howard and Bonnie Saxon donated a brand new
computer which will be used in our office.
Volunteers are needed to staff the bouncy house at the 1st Annual Family Day hosted by Family Promise. The event takes place on October 15 from 11am – 4pm, but two volunteers are need each hour (one hour shift). If interested in attending or
