Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

 3 EPC Happenings
1. The season of resurrection is one of the most glorious liturgical seasons in our Christian world. It's a time of renewal, rebirth and resurrection. Very excited to begin a sermon series on the "r's" of resurrection. This first week's message is on repentance. Repentance feels like a weighty concept, and it is, but I've recently learned a lot about what it is and is not from Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg. Come to worship this week and learn more! 

2. This Sunday we'll send our friends Fred and Ruth Schroeder on to their new home in Vermont. Stay after worship for cake and celebration. 

3. Can't believe we're talking about summer already, but it's almost here! Looking forward to PRIDE and VBS in June and July, respectively. 

2 Interesting Links
 1. Body Scan Meditation is a great way to notice stress you may have been carrying around without knowing it. Give it a try HERE.

2. I've been loving the use of VOICE TEXTS these days, to keep in touch with friends. I love thinking about how communication changes over time, too.

Join us this Sunday as we kick off our new sermon series: The R's of Resurrection. Easter is more than a day, it’s a whole season!

The Garden Team is looking for volunteers to maintain the church garden through the spring and summer. It is a wonderful ministry of our church, and we want to make sure it is thriving!
