Building & Grounds

A focus of the parish community is our physical location—the land at 2089 Ponce de Leon, from the East Lake at Ponce Point to the meadow and highlands, and the building that houses our Sanctuary, Parish Hall, Classrooms, Art Gallery, Offices and more. We benefit from the ideas and efforts of volunteers who contribute to care for our grounds and keep our building in good shape.
 
Inside our building, volunteers participate in quarterly Parish-wide Work Days to care for our space. Year round, a core group of volunteers work in groups, pairs, or individually to maintain our facility by performing minor repairs, making improvements, and solving problems.

Outside around our campus, we have partnered with Trees Atlanta and Save Georgia’s Hemlocks to plant over 80 trees on our grounds. We have installed native plants on the East Lake Bank, are in the process of improving our Courtyard to include native plants as well, and have planted blueberry bushes with plans for more fruit trees in our meadow, all in keeping with our Environmental Stewardship goals.

If you would like to share your gifts in caring for our building and grounds, you can contact the vestry liaison for B&G for more information.

Office Volunteers

General Administrative Assistance is invaluable, as volunteers assist with copying and folding the Sunday Bulletin and several parish-wide mailings during the year, answering the phones during staff meetings, or helping occasionally with data entry or running errands as special projects arise. If you have a weekday morning or afternoon to spare, enjoy phone work, copying, data entry, stuffing bulletins or are willing to be a Jack or Jill of all trades, then volunteer to help out in the parish office.

WELCOM! Dinner Group

WELCOM! stands for We Epiphanites Like Conversation Over Meals!  WELCOM! randomly forms casual small dinner groups of 6 to 8 adults—both singles and couples, with and without children—who gather about once a month over a six-month cycle at different locations (mostly homes) for casual conversation over meals.
