Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

Here's my "3-2-1" for this week...
 

3 EPC Happenings

1. Epiphany Sunday -- Join us THIS Sunday for a special Epiphany Service as we celebrate the Wise Ones arriving at the Manger. All are welcome to come and you’ll receive supplies for the tradition of “Chalking the Door” and we’ll do a special blessing for our new doors at EPC. Join us for this fun and uplifting service. 

2. Soup for You -- We are having another Soup Event on Sunday, January 22 after worship! This is a fun fellowship event with soup, salad, bread, drinks, and dessert. Sign up HERE. 

3. New Member Classes -- I am so excited that we will be offering new members classes over the course of 2023. They will be every other month after Sunday worship, and the first one will be February 12. Can't make it that day? No worries - the next one will be in April. You'll learn all about what it means to be a member of EPC and all are welcome! 

2 Interesting Links

1.  I talked about ORANS last week in the children's message. THIS is another article about the prayer posture of lifting holy hands. 

2. What does it mean to live a whole-hearted life? I think THIS video is a great reflection on it, and THIS poem (which I read on Sunday) is also useful. 

1 Thought 

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts"

-- Isaiah 55:8-9

There you have it! Our 3-2-1 for the week. See you Sunday! 

It's not the same without you there, 

Check out these photos from Erie House, the mission we supported this Christmas. You'll see our church's gifts, now wrapped, going into the hands of the children they were purchased for. Thank you for your support! 

Join us this Sunday 8 for a special Epiphany Service! All are welcome to come and you’ll receive supplies for the tradition of  “Chalking the Door” and we’ll do a special blessing for our new doors at EPC. 

Join us for a fun fellowship event after church on January 22. There will be soup, salad, bread, drinks, and dessert. Let us know if you are coming and if you want to bring something! Click HERE to sign up.

Our Annual Congregational Meeting at EPC will be held Sunday, January 29th following the worship service. All members are encouraged to stay to do the important work of the church. 

Our first Leadership Breakfast for 2023 is Sunday, January 29th at 9:30 AM!  All committees and teams are meeting. If you're not on a ministry team (committee) but are curious about how you might serve the church in this way, please plan to come to the meeting at 9:30 to learn and discern where you might use your gifts to serve EPC in 2023! All are welcome. 

Are you interested in becoming a member of EPC? Join us on any one of these dates after worship in the Tallman Room to learn more about our church and what it means to be a member.
