Free Community Supper Save the date, the Church of the Epiphany will sponsor a free community supper on Sunday, October 14, 2012, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the church hall at 196 Main St., Durham.  The main meal will be prepared by Epiphany’s parishioners; members of Notre Dame Church will provide desserts.
