HEADLINES!

HELP! Rain in the chancel after a severe storm has caused water damage to the paintings and the organ. We will have to begin a fund raising campaign to restore these valued treasures.

We have already found an artist to tackle the painting and a parishioners'' company will provide the scaffolding wall repair and painting for the project to help defray costs. We still have to pay time and materials so your help is needed financially.

The damage to the organ has sprung a new organ committee to also help decide on improvements for our church organ. The organ committee made a presentation at Vestry and will continue on their quest after much interest was shown at the meeting.

• SPITZ game was great fun for 26 members of our congregation

Annual Complimentary Christmas dinner.

Santa Vicki is singing the praises of so many volunteers who came out to help with our annual Complimentary Christmas dinner.

Winter COATS for ADULTS program went very well this year as we opened our hall for 3 days to offer complimentary coats to those who were in need.

Jim Spinks Memorial Tree Donation

We sadly miss Jim, his hugs and tireless efforts in so many projects at Epiphany. His family and friends gathered to plant a memorial tree on the Parish front lawn. The tri-coloured beech tree was one of Jim's favourites. Here pictured is  the Rector , Jim's sister and friends during the planting.

VESTRY SUNDAY Feb 5th, This is YOUR meeting!

After a delightful pot luck lunch our 2 hour meeting thanked Mark for 15 years of dedicated ministry on our board. Our Deacons who provide a valuable service to the parish outlined their year to the parish at the meeting, thanking everyone for their continued support. We reviewed our year and approved the new budget. The property committee hopes to put lighting in our front sign this year as well as paint the church.

Work on the Chancel mural and painting will begin this week. The organ committee will continue to pursue quotes and advise Parish Council regarding our organ requirements at another date. Many thanks to all our groups who make Epiphany a vibrant and active parish and member of the Kingsville community.
