The Wednesday Night Dinner Program provides those in need with a balanced meal once a week in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. Guests are greeted in our church for the hour before the meal by a volunteer musician playing the piano as people gather, wait, and take shelter. Each week we serve between 90 and 130 people a hot dinner cooked in our kitchen by our staff cook and plated and served by volunteers. No one is turned away from our program, and we welcome all those who are in need of a meal, whether they are homeless or have a place to live but not enough money to buy food. We serve as an outreach site for other agencies to reach the homeless and hungry residents of New York City and provide referrals and information about homeless services in the city. 
The Carpenter's Kids Program is a partnership between the Anglican Diocese of Central Tanganyika and the Episcopal Diocese of New York. "Carpenter's Kids" are Tanzanian HIV/AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children who are selected after screening by their parishes. The aim of the program is to ensure that each child receives a school uniform, a pair of shoes, breakfast every morning, and adequate school supplies to enable them to attend primary school.Worship with us!

Holy Eucharist, Rite I Sunday, 8:30 a.m. A simple service (without music) held in our chapel. Refreshments follow.
There are many activities--Sunday School, and the Children's and Cherubs choirs among them--specifically created for the children of the Church of the Epiphany. And about once a month, the 11 a.m. Sunday service is designed as a Family Service. A children's homily is preached in place of a full sermon, and the children stay in the sanctuary for the whole service rather than spending a portion of it downstairs at the Sunday School. Depending upon that week's particular gospel and preacher, the kids are involved in the worship in a variety of ways, sometimes acting out a Bible story, gathering close to the altar for the Eucharistic Prayer, or contributing ideas to the Prayers of the People. Even families without children tell us that they enjoy the Family Service as a time to recall the fundamental lessons of faith and learn from the simple but sage wisdom of our youngest members!
Lay leaders are an integral component of worship at the Church of the Epiphany, and we welcome volunteers to serve as readers of the biblical lessons and the Prayers of the People during Sunday services as well as crucifers, who carry the cross in procession, and ushers, who greet congregants as they enter the church. Volunteers are also needed for the upkeep and decoration of our beautiful altar by arranging for flowers; our Altar Guild (see below link) cares for the linens and silver used during the services. If you are interested in any of these ministries, please contact the office at (212) 737-2720. Upcoming Events
