Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

Here's my "3-2-1" for this week...

3 EPC Happenings

1. Garden Work Day! Come spend a few hours in our glorious gardens this Saturday! All are welcome! Garden workers are meeting at 9. 

2. Sunday Worship -- This Sunday is a fun service of Easter Lessons and Carols! Come and hear the stories of the resurrected Christ, along with songs about resurrection. Easter is more than a day, it’s a whole season. 

3. Also this Sunday — New Member Class! If you’ve been curious about joining the church, come to the new member class after worship!

1 Thought 

Today’s Quote to consider comes from my 6-year-old daughter Marina who loves to paint and draw and color. I thought it was so profound and worth considering.

“Mama, I like colors so much because the world is in color. The world isn't in black and white. If it was, it would be like a comic book, and it isn't.”
-- Marina, 6 years old

Reminds me of Dolly Parton’s simple and profound lyrics to “I Am a Rainbow.” 

There you have it! Our 3-2-1 for the week. See you Sunday! 

It's not the same without you there, 

Join us in worship this Sunday for a special Easter Service of Lessons and Carols featuring many of the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus and special music. You don't want to miss this meaningful service! 

There will be a new member class this Sunday, April 16 after worship. Please note: it will be held in the session room in the preschool wing of the church. Please be sure to check out our new member handbook HERE and bring any and all questions.
