Street Church
Church of the Epiphany Street Church
Street Church draws us into celebration of the Holy Eucharist with the homeless in the heart of one of DC's business districts near Metro Center. Each Tuesday, we prepare lunch at The Church of the Epiphany and then move to Franklin Park to worship and serve lunch to our homeless guests. On October 26, our new vicar Reverend Jan Naylor Cope will preside at the Eucharist that begins at 1:00 pm. Join the worship service at Franklin Park or, if you are able, volunteer to help with the meal.
To volunteer for this day or any Tuesday, please contact coordinator MaryJo DeMatteis
