Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

3 EPC Happenings

1. I can't believe we are halfway through our Refocus Sermon Series! This Sunday we'll be focused on Isaiah 43:18-21: A New Thing. What new things is God doing in your life? Join us in person or on the live stream. 

2. I'm so excited about everything Emerson is doing to support our children and youth, under the direction of our wonderful Faith Formation team! Please see below and reach out or sign up if you're interested in helping with children's church! All volunteers will be asked to undergo a background check before beginning their service. 

3. Ash Wednesday is February 22, 2023! Join us at 7:00 PM as we mark the beginning of this sacred season with prayer, song, and the imposition of ashes.

1. The Danger of a Single Story is one of the most popular TED talks of all time, and one of my personal favorites as well. You can watch it HERE. 

2. I've been listening to an old favorite band recently, Jars of Clay. Check out their beautiful HYMN and then a sillier COFFEE SONG.
