Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

Today instead of 3-2-1, I'd like to offer you the following thought from Spirituality and Practice that is focused on justice and how we are invited to "pray with our actions."

You can access the thought HERE, and find more great resources on the website for your own spiritual growth and development. 

Be sure you check out all the exciting things happening at EPC in the coming weeks below. I look forward to seeing you Sunday!

It's not the same without you there, 

Pastor Traci

Don't forget! You can worship with EPC via livestream! We are grateful for our behind-the-scenes team who makes it happen every week. The link is below!

Our new directory is LIVE and we need your help to create your online profile. All you need is the email address you have on file with the church (probably the one you are getting this email sent to!). If you aren't sure, contact Cristi. Our Pastoral Assistant, Kaleigh made this helpful video for walking you through the steps of how to create your own profile. You will need to go HERE to create your login and update your information. If you have questions, contact Cristi or Kaleigh. 

Join Pastor Traci Wednesdays from 12-1 PM for a drop-in bible study on Zoom. 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! Use the church zoom link below to join in.

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. 

Join us for a short and reflective Ash Wednesday Service on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7:00PM. The service will also be live-streamed. If you are tuning in from home, you will have the opportunity to get ashes to use at home. More information to come.

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.”

Our Community Kids Program is back and they are looking for donations of the items listed above! 

In partnership with research scientist Dr. Jodie Dewey, we'll be collecting items for people who are working through withdrawals and towards their recovery for opioid addiction. Dr. Dewey is giving a short message this Sunday during worship to the adults in the congregation about this type of addiction and illness while the kids are downstairs for Sunday School. 

On 2/27, the kids will gather the collected items, assemble them into bags, have some pizza, and hear Dr. Dewey's age-appropriate talk for kids about why we're doing what we're doing! That event will be right after church from 11:45-12:45 in Calvin Hall.
