Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

3 EPC Happenings

1. The Pastor's Bible Study is starting next week (Wednesday) at 12 noon! Plan to come via ZOOM and join us. It's a drop in study, so you can feel free to come when you can! 
2. Ash Wednesday is Wednesday, March 2 -- Plan to come to a brief service of reflection and the imposition of ashes at 7pm in the sanctuary. You can also join via zoom at our EPC Zoom link. 
3. We're always collecting for the Elmhurst Yorkfield Food Pantry in the Nelson-White room. The next time you're at the store, why not pick up some things you think patrons of the food pantry would like. Some of the items that are most often requested are: laundry soap, toothpaste, shampoo and other personal times. 

2 Interesting Links

1. I like Maria's review of Four Thousand Weeks HERE and it makes me want to read it. Powerful quote: "Any finite life — even the best one you could possibly imagine — is therefore a matter of ceaselessly waving goodbye to possibility… Since finitude defines our lives… living a truly authentic life — becoming fully human — means facing up to that fact.."
2. My Twitter feed has been a robust discussion of whether or not there's value to online church,  I thought Diana Butler Bass had some great thoughts about this HERE.

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.”
