Pam and Don Metzinger are two of the most active Epiphanites. Pam is the lady to talk to for virtually any activity involving food—receptions, coffee hours, dinners—name it and she's running it. Even without food, she has been the chairperson of the annaul rummage sale for several years, past-president of Women of Epiphany (WOE) and sings in the choir.

Don is a member of the Vestry, our fund-raiser chairperson and serves on the financial committee. He is an adult advisor to Youth of Epiphany (YOE) and presides over our annual Trunk or Treat celebration.

Whether they're at church or home, they are great parents to Adam and Cassie.
