Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

3 EPC Happenings

1. Leadership Breakfast -- THIS SUNDAY! All of the church teams and committees will be meeting from 9:30-10:25. 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! 

2. Make a difference for girls in Sierra Leone this Lent -- This lent we’re diverting our coffee (or other) funds to Days for Girls. Days for Girls mission is to prepare and distribute sustainable menstrual health solutions to girls who would otherwise miss school during their monthly periods. Want to participate? Pick up your coffee cup at church and fill it with funds throughout Lent. We will bring our cups back and tally our totals the week after Easter. Cups of Grace!

3. Good Friday Storytelling Event -- Mark your calendars for Friday, April 7th. We will be having a special storytelling event around the theme of Lost and Found led by Mark Yaconnelli. To learn more about him, click HERE. You won't want to miss this special experience around the power of story.

Join us this Sunday in worship for the Third Sunday of Lent as we continue our Lenten Sermon Series, The Journey. The season of Lent is often described as a journey. A journey with Jesus towards Easter, a journey through as the days get longer, and a journey growing closer to God through our own spiritual disciplines. You are invited to join us on the journey as we begin with Pastor Traci's sermon Take Nothing With You
