Hi EPC Friends and Members, 

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

3 EPC Happenings
1. Tonight is the Project CURE gala! If you weren’t able to attend, you can still MAKE A DONATION and help us achieve our fundraising goal!

2. Sunday we’ll continue our series on the stained-glass windows in the sanctuary! Come and learn about one of the more intricate (and interesting!) windows in our space — the apostles’ window. 

3. Tea, anyone? The hospitality committee is hosting an afternoon tea this October. All are invited! Sign up HERE.
 

2 Interesting Links
 1. Barbara Brown Taylor’s book LEARNING TO WALK IN THE DARK is always a good one for spiritual practice. Contrast it with these REFLECTIONS ON LIGHT. Life is both light and shadow, and there is goodness in both.

2. I’m pretty sure this PUMPKIN SPICE COMMUNION is a joke, but you never can tell! Pumpkin spice everywhere!

1 Thought 
There are non-essential activities, moths of precious time, and it's worse to take an interest in irrelevant things than to do nothing at all.

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

It's not the same without you there, 

This Sunday we are continuing our sermon series, Stained Glass Windows, which is going through the meaning of the windows in our sacntuary! This Sunday you won't want to miss Pastor Traci's sermons on the apostle's window. Be sure you tune in! 

The Gala is tonight! You can't purchase tickets at this late time, but you support this project financially if you feel so called. Click HERE to go to EPC’S SimpleGive and scroll down to the Project CURE bucket and make a donation!
