The period surroundings offer a gracious setting for luncheon
with friends. Fresh flowers decorate the tables and sunlight streams
through the large windows, making an upbeat atmosphere and
setting the stage for lively conversation.

Epperson and the volunteers never lose sight of the fact that their efforts are going
to help others. Just a few of the grateful recipients have included the Crisis Pregnancy
Center, a ministry in Honduras, a child who is sponsored through World Vision, a family
which is sponsored for a summer mission trip each year and scholarships for female
ministers.
The whole operation is pulled off by volunteers with the help of two chefs who are
paid a nominal fee for their expertise. There are hostesses, waitresses, those who work
in publicity and some retired gentlemen who have become the official dishwashers.
Also impressive is that The Christy House draws volunteers from other area church
congregations. “We have some ladies from other congregations who come and help as
well,” says Epperson, who is proud of the fact that the ministry is an ecumenical effort.
The Christy House is
also available for bridal and
baby showers, meetings and
conferences by calling the
church office at 412.741.1790.
Each Friday the menu is
posted outside the house
at 403 Frederick Avenue.
