Disciples meals at Epiphany, Danville, look a little
different these days. Normally, we serve a sit down dinner in the Parish
Hall on Tuesday evenings at 5:00 p.m. and then offer a sack lunch out
of the narthex on Thursdays at 12 p.m. Attendance at both of these
meals varies based on a number of factors, including the week of the
month and the weather, but generally vary from a low of around 20 to a
high of 60+.
Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic we have kept the
same schedule and served a meal of ready-to-eat, non-perishable items in
plastic grocery sacks hung on the historic wrought iron fence around
the church. This allows us to serve our guests safely while still being
able to engage with them socially as we always have done.
The number of guests is up and last Tuesday we had a record
of 67+ guests. We will keep this up as long as we can get supplies,
which has become more challenging especially in the last week.
