Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

Here's my "3-2-1" for this week...
 

3 EPC Happenings
1. We've added an additional New Member Class for this Sunday after church! If you're interested in membership, see you there! 

2. Pentecost is coming up soon! If you're interested in helping with some amazing sanctuary decorations and don't mind climbing a big ladder (!) I'd love to be in touch... 

3. I can't believe we're talking about summer things, but SAVE THE DATE for all of the amazing Summer opportunities coming our way. See below for details! 
 

2 Interesting Links
1. We're looking at number of "R" words related to a resurrected life. I'll be diving into the concept of Tikkun Olam. Hope to see you there! 

2. Our band sang Beautiful Things last week. It's such a lovely one and I've been listening to THIS VERSION this week.
