MEN OF EPIPHANY AND FRIENDS – COATS! COATS! COATS! 
Please answer the call.

On Tuesday, January 3, over 900 inmates were released about six months early as part of a new program aimed at easing their transition back into the community. Most of the inmates released to supervision are Class D felons, which is the lowest-level felony conviction in Kentucky.

Men of Epiphany are donating clothing -- winter coats are a special, desparate need -- to these people to help their transition.

The Backside Mission team and Men of Epiphany are once again collaborating to conduct their annual July collection for the Trackside Ministry at Churchill Downs. This year, the special challenge is to address the damage created by the recent tornado that hit the Backside Christ Chapel, which serves both the spiritual and physical needs of the barn workers.

The team will be offering a host of activities after July 23-24, 2011 weekend liturgies.

Christmas in July brings gifts in December

Christ ChapelChristmas in July and the Trackside Ministry: Remember back in July when Men of Epiphany (MOE) and Epiphany’s Backside Ministry joined forces to appeal for contributions on behalf of the Trackside Ministry? It was, indeed, a sort of Christmas in July! You may recall Chaplain Ken Boehm came to Epiphany to thank all personally for the on-going support of the workers on the Backside and the Race Track Ministry . Because of the generosity of our community members, workers on the Backside received more than 125 pairs of boots this Christmas, along with dozens of gifts for the children. And, both MOE and Epiphany’s Backside Ministry were able to host a number of evening meals for the workers; purchase WorkbootsEaster baskets for the children; and provide in-kind contributions of food, clothing, and other items. Additional funds were raised to purchase a used Tumblebus to create a classroom environment for the children during Monday night services on the Backside. Any number of volunteers joined in to deliver these gifts and to provide on-going services for the workers and their children.

Tumblebus dedicated as the Christ Chapel Children’s Center

The ARKIt has been some time in coming - but from ideation to creation, the used Tumblebus, soon to be introduced as the Christ Chapel Children’s Center, will be dedicated Monday evening, August 30, 2010, on the Backside of Churchill Downs and rolled out (figuratively speaking) for its initial run as a Children’s Center.

The exterior has been repainted to blend in with its surroundings (next to Christ Chapel), and the interior has been fitted with laminated drop-down tables for crafts and other table work, as well as overhead lockers for storage. There are many to thank for bringing about the new Center, especially the Men of Epiphany for their support; Bob Lockhart for the initial re-design (we had to modify the color scheme for Churchill, but Bob was the inspirer); Dave Hileman and his team of painters;Muffy Sinclair for recruitment and training of volunteer teachers; Epiphany's 10% Committee for their donation that allowed the renovation to go forward; and countless members of the Community of Epiphany for their donations to the Trackside Ministry last year that allowed us to complete the project. Principal donors included: Kosair Charities, Southeast Christian, and the Community of Epiphany.

Chaplain Ken Boehm and the TumblebusWith 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.
