October 27, 2023: E-News Updates
Hi EPC Friends and Members,
Here's my "3-2-1" for this week...
3 EPC Happenings
1. Our Trunk or Treat is coming up THIS Sunday after worship This safe and fun Halloween event is a wonderful tradition here at EPC. Bring any kids in your life, decorate a trunk, and come out for a fun time.
2. Tomorrow is our Fall Clean Up Day! Many hands make light work so please come anytime between 9-12 to lend a hand.
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. I absolutely adored THIS ARTICLE about the Jewish tradition of giving in multiples of 18 and how it brought life to the organization that harnessed its power. As we enter into the season of stewardship, what if you made your pledge to EPC (or a one-time gift) in an amount that has personal significance for you? Perhaps you’ll be guided by a birthday or an other number of personal significance.
2. Did you know that deep-fried MAPLE LEAVES are a delicacy in a particular village in Japan? I didn’t either.

It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our death bed. It is the things we do not. I assure you I've done a lot of really stupid things, and none of them bother me. All the mistakes, and all the dopey things, and all the times I was embarrassed — they don't matter. What matters is that I can kind of look back and say: Pretty much any time I got the chance to do something cool I tried to grab for it — and that's where my solace comes from.
