Family Ministries at Epiphany:

Week of April 7

Upcoming for Families at Epiphany

First Sunday Worship: Sunday, April 7 at 10:00am (sign-up here for children and youth roles)
Parish Weekend Away Registration: Opens Tuesday, April 9 at 9am
Midweek Dinner and Formation for All Ages: Wednesday, April 10 at 6:15pm
Church School: Sunday, April 14 at 10:00am (begins in sanctuary; all ages in Chapel because of holiday weekend)

At the beginning of Lent, the church school children buried "alleluias" (on seed paper). We waited for six weeks, and these beautiful new shoots decorated the tables in Hadley Hall on Easter morning.

First Sunday Intergenerational Worship: April 7 at 10:00am

The first Sunday of each month, all ages worship together throughout the 10am service. Children and youth are offered the opportunity to try different roles within the service, like greeter, usher, lector (reader), and element bearer. This is a wonderful way for our young people to help, to serve, and to see the worship experience with new eyes. Please sign-up for a role, and thank you!

First Sunday Worship Roles

Midweek: April 10 at 6:15pm

Our Midweek@Epiphany dinner and formation for all ages will be on April 10. Midweek is usually first and third Wednesdays, but for April we are shaking it up and going for the second Wednesday (this is because of post-Easter fatigue on the part of staff and volunteers, and the school break later in the month).

So please get April 10 on your calendars! Dinner is at 6:15pm, followed by Bible Study with Rev. Nick for grown-ups at 7pm, and art and music for the kids with Bryn and Jeremy.

Parish Weekend Away: Families, Please Come!

Our all-parish, intergenerational retreat weekend at the Barbara C. Harris Camp & Conference Center in Greenfield, NH, will be the weekend of September 27-29, 2024.

Families, this weekend away is for you! Last year we had all ages: a little baby, toddlers, elementary kids, preteens and teens. It is a wonderful opportunity to build real, deep friendships across the parish and across all ages.

Please review the email you received on Tuesday for all the details. Reach out to Bryn with any questions. Registration begins on Tuesday, April 9. The last two years, it did fill quickly, so we recommend not delaying your registration.

Parent Community Events

Our Parents & Caregivers of Adolescents Group will gather on Sunday, April 21 at 5pm in the Suter Room. This group is open to all who are actively raising preteens and teens. We're a simple support and friendship group.

Our Moms of Young Children Group will gather for a potluck lunch on Sunday, April 28 at noon. This group is open to all moms of little ones, from babies through elementary school. Please email Sarah for more information and to let us know you'll be joining us.
