This Sunday is Thanksgiving Sunday! We will hear a special message from Pastor Traci about Giving with Gratitude. We will also bless the pledges for 2024! Please prayerfully consider how you might support the church and bring your filled out pledge card to worship Sunday. 


 

Join us for a Thanksgiving Potluck THIS Sunday, November 19th after worship. Please sign up HERE and let us know how many people will be joining you, and what side dish you will be bringing. We will provide the turkey! 


 

Our youth director, Emerson, is heading to Cuba and is collecting supplies to bring to the people there. Items needed include: Stomach Relief Medications, Probiotics, Vitamins (C, E, B Complex, B6, Folic Acid, Multivitamins), Menstrual Products, Aspirin, Advil/Tylenol. All donations must be in before TOMORROW November 18th at 8AM. More info about their trip can be found HERE


 

To help welcome baby Declan to the world, the Deacons of EPC are recommending Amazon gift cards for Clare and Brian Collins. Gift cards may be dropped off in the church office or with Susan Leslie, Moderator of the Deacons. 


 

This year for the Christmas Season, EPC is sponsoring 50 children in our annual Erie House gift drive. We have specific wish list items from each individual child. Gift tags with details will be available from the Tree in the Nelson White room. Suggested donation is $40 per child. Please DO NOT wrap gifts, attach tag to the gift(s), and return to the Christmas Tree BEFORE Dec 3. Dec 3 is the absolute deadline so earlier is preferred.


 

This year during the Advent and Christmas season, EPC will be collecting Diapers for New Deliverance. Our goal is to fill the stable that will be set up in the Nelson White room as well. Please bring in any size diapers and fill the stable until the end of the year.


 

It is that time of year already when we order red and white poinsettias to grace our sanctuary. The cost will be $23.50 this year. We will be passing out order envelopes the next several Sundays. Kindly check the boxes for your color preference, total, how you would like your contribution listed and if you prefer to pick up your plant this year or donate it for deacon delivery. You can place your completed forms in the basket on the lectern. The deadline is Sunday, December 10th. Questions? Contact Paula Reckley


 

Join us on Saturday, December 2nd from 1-4 PM in Calvin Hall for our annual cookie bake! We encourage folks to bring their premade dough for the event rather than the ingredients. Everyone should bring enough for 3 dozen cookies and bring containers to bring home shared cookies! 


 

Festive Family Fun Night – Saturday 12/16 5-7:30 PM – Join us for a night of festive fun for ALL ages!! We'll be showing the Muppet Christmas Carol movie, serving a pizza dinner, and cap the night off with a scavenger hunt leading to a special treat! We'll also have some fun holiday craft centers set up.
