Albany Park Community Center (APCC) is in need of volunteer tutors for adult students in English as a Second Language (ESL), basic literacy, math and citizenship.
We require that our tutors attend a FREE 12-hour training off-site and commit to about 4 hours per week, meeting with student(s) twice per week for 2 hours per session.
Morning, afternoon, evening and Saturday hours are available. We also ask for a minimum of a 6-month commitment from our volunteer tutors.
If this interests you, please contact me to set up a day and time when we can meet to discuss the program, and you can sign up for the training. We'd be very glad to
have your help!

Many people in our congregation may not know that each Wednesday three things happen at Epiphany during the day before the Welcome Meal even begins. The Common Pantry is open to furnish people with food. Also, we have social workers helping people accomplish
everything from obtaining food stamps to finding a dentist.

Finally, we serve a lunch to anyone who is at the church around 12:30. We have served as few as 30 and as many as 115. Just last Wednesday, we served pizza, cheeseburgers, vegetables, and fresh fruit to 80 people. If you would be interested in helping out with the Wednesday lunches the please contact Mike Lohman at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

We are writing to you because the Epiphany Sunday School Committee is in need of new teachers and assistants. Every year, the Epiphany Sunday School program grows in the number of children and in the quality of the curriculum. This year is no different. We have a fantastic group of children and an entertaining and educational curriculum. And we need more teachers. The best kind of teacher is a person who simply enjoys being around children and believes that Jesus Christ’s message of love and faith should be shared with children of all ages. What does it take to be a great Sunday school teacher? You don't have to know the Bible inside and out, and you don't have to be an expert in religion. You can be a great Sunday school teacher doing what you enjoy doing most--having fun with kids. We think you have those qualities and we are asking that you prayerfully consider this request to be a part of a vital part of Epiphany’s ministry.

In reality, being a Sunday School teacher at Epiphany requires a lot less time than you may think. Thanks to our team-teaching approach, the church calendar, and a new approach that includes children in the communion we share on the first Sunday of each month, the fact is that teaching may only require 4 Sundays of your time through the end of the year! We counted the Sundays from September 11 thru December 31 and the number of Sundays that require teaching

Here is the breakdown.

• On the first Sunday of each month the children will stay in worship with their families so there will be no Sunday School. Both the children and teachers can participate in communion.
• On 3 day weekends we are thinking of doing special projects with the children. This could be a bible story video, craft or something else related to Sunday School. This would be a one time commitment.
• Most of the month of December is used for rehearsal of the Christmas Pageant.

Last Sunday, July 31^st, the congreation voted to call Rev. Kevin J. McLemore as its new Pastor.  Pastor Kevin will begin in October. If you have any questions about the cearch process or congregational vote, contact Sandy Hartman, Search Mocc. Char Or Jeff Orr.

Sunday school’s out for summer, and has been for several weeks, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways for our children to remain involved in the life of Epiphany. We have a rich tradition of giving at Epiphany and as a summer mission project we would like to collect gently used or new children’s books for the Olive Branch Mission at 63rd and Ashland. It is the Christian education committees hope that this will be the beginning of a new relationship for both the Sunday school and the clients of the Olive Branch Mission. So take a look at your book shelves and consider sharing those books that that your family has outgrown or would really enjoy sharing with someone else. Books will be collected through Sunday September 11th and an event will be planned soon after to deliver the books. Any questions please contact Melissa Gumm, Gloria Heatley or Jeremy Glenn.
