February 11, 2022: E-News Updates
Hi EPC Friends and Members,
Here's my "3-2-1" for this week...
3 EPC Happenings
- I'm very excited about the growth of our Session committees. Our church is as strong as our leadership! If you'd like to figure out how you might be able to be of service to EPC, I know our committee chairs would be happy to talk to you. Email me and I'll get you in touch with the committee chairperson. Or, if you're not sure where God might be calling you, please email me!
- The Nominating Committee is hard at work finding our new slate of Elders and Deacons. Do you know someone who God might be calling? Please fill out this NOMINATING FORM. All responses will be kept confidential and passed on to the nominating committee.
- We had our first week of Bible Study this past Wednesday and are looking forward to studying the book of Mark together. Please join us this Wednesday at noon on Zoom! All are welcome. We will grow week by week!
2 Interesting Links
- This week I was thinking about one of my favorite TED talks The Danger of a Single Story. You can watch it HERE.
- Our family loved watching the Disney Movie Inside Out last weekend. Everyone in our family laughed out loud a ton. See what I mean HERE
1 Thought
This quote is brain food and something I think about all the time:
"The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.” ― Seneca
There you have it! Our 3-2-1 for the week. See you Sunday!
It's not the same without you there,

We are in the process of updating our directory and we need your help! Please contact our Office Administrator, Cristi by phone or email to update your info. The deadline for this is March 1, but the sooner the better!
Pastor Traci will be starting a drop-in bible study on Zoom to learn more about the Bible. The study will meet on Wednesdays from 12-1 PM beginning on February 9. We will be exploring the Gospel of Mark, asking questions like “What does the text say?,” “What does the text mean?” and “How does it call us to live?” All are welcome to come when you can!

An update to our Afghan Family Support: The family of 11 was able to get Afghan passports, visas to safety in Pakistan, and a flight to Islamabad, Pakistan. Thanks to your contributions, we are able to help them with housing expenses in Pakistan while they wait for paperwork to be processed. Please consider making a contribution by giving online, text to give, or placing a donation in the offering plate noting “Afghan Family Support.”
