Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

3 EPC Happenings
1. TOMORROW at 6PM is our Free Community and we need volunteers! Please contact Anna Lu if you are available to help with set up, serving meals, or cleaning up. Please come support this wonderful mission of our church that is in line with our 3 Why's! 

2. Our Trunk or Treat is coming up on Sunday, October 29th after worship!  This safe and fun Halloween event is a wonderful tradition here at EPC. Please bring any kids in your life to trick or treat or sign up to volunteer! Click HERE to sign up to help make pizza or decorate a trunk. 

3. Our church-wide Thanksgiving potluck is on Sunday, November 19th after worship. We provide the turkey and you bring the side dishes. Save the date for this wonderful fellowship event and sign up HERE to let us know how many people will be attending and what you will be bringing! 

2 Interesting Links
1. As hard as it is to read, THIS REFLECTION FROM EBOO PATEL about the hate crime in the Chicago area hit close to home and is so important.

2. ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR BEING HUMAN by DAVID BROOKS. So good.
