The Church of The Epiphany, Gurgaon Hosts its Annual Garden Fete

The Church of The Epiphany, Gurgaon hosted its first Annual Garden Fete on the 6th of November, 2022 after a hiatus of almost two years of the Covid-19 Pandemic. This was a most eagerly awaited occasion especially as it was after a long time that we would meet each other in the church. The English Service and the Hindi service members were seen connecting with each other. The convenors of the fete were Mr Prmod Sagar, Mr Sunil Sannoo, Mr Dipinder Benjamin and Mrs Jyoti Sannoo. The Presbyter In Charge, Revd. Daman Rogers presided over the whole event.

The Chief Guest on the occasion was the Rt. Revd. Bishop Paul Swaroop and the First Lady of the Church of North India Diocese of Delhi. The day started with regular combined mass in the new church and then, it was followed by the formal commencement of the fete itself. It was a moment when everyone was able to meet each other over a cup of tea or even food. There were also a few candid moments that the shutterbug was able to capture.

There were food stalls, games stalls and the most popular White Elephant Stall which was like a flea market where donated items were sold at a discounted rate. The fete started at 11:30 a.m. and came to an end at about 4:30 p.m. The Raffle draw was a huge success with more than 25 prizes being awarded to the lucky winners. The Tambola game too was a great success.
