With the help of Epiphany parishioners and others, children of backside workers at the track have a place to go during chapel services

Thanks to the combined efforts of Church of the Epiphany parishioners, members of Southeast Christian Church and Kosair Charities the children of Churchill Downs backside workers have a new place to gather.

The trio of benefactors has been working for several months to buy one of the “Tumblebus” vehicles from the New Albany, Indiana, couple who started the exercise bus program.

The bus, which was re-painted and refurbished, will be parked year-round adjacent to the chapel in the racetrack’s stable area. When backside workers gather for Monday evening worship services, their children are now able to have supervised activities in the bus, guided by certified child-care volunteers.

Dispelling Myths - Delighting Parishioners

by Charlene Kline

Forget any thoughts you might harbor about young adults, sitting around with nothing to do. The kids in the Epiphany Youth Band pack a peck of practice and performance into their busy weeks. The members, ranging from 11 years to senior high school, rehearse two hours a week with director Barrett Wilson at Epiphany. This rehearsal must alternate from Tuesdays to Wednesdays because of jam-packed schedules and the fact that the young participants attend a variety of schools across the county.

The members, numbering about twenty, play a variety of instruments, ranging from conga drums to cellos, violins, saxophones, French horns, flutes, and more. Barrett writes the arrangements for each instrument and new works are always in the wings. Some members of Epiphany youth band are also involved in the Louisville Youth Orchestra. Some play with their high school bands, marching and concert. Many work; most continue their music education. Aside from all these activities, there is always homework to be tackled.
