13th January 2019
Activity Sheets: As there is no Sunday School until the new term starts there are Activity Sheets available for SS aged children which are based on the theme from the main message for the day.
Preaching for 2019: From Jan 27 to March 31 messages will be from Acts 16 to 21. In April we turn to Isaiah 51 to 54. May and June are yet to be finalised. Each Sunday’s text will be incorporated into our 100 DayReading Challenge to help you get a head start on the message for that coming week.
In the works: Some things planned for the first half of 2019 – 1) Book stall with family devotions material, 2) 100 Day+ Bible Challenge, 3) DeeperDiscipleship Training : Personal Bible Reading, How to listen to sermons,One Book, One Story & 4) For the Love of God [a warts and all 4 part documentary series on the church].
100 Day+ Bible Challenge: The 100Day+ challenge officially starts Jan 28 and will include the text for the message on Feb 3. Printouts of the reading program for Feb-April will be available next week and will also be placed on our web page. There will be a sign up sheet just so we get an idea of how many of us are doing it and so that we can encourage each other in our reading. If we treat it as a ‘team challenge’ we are more likely to stick to it and enjoy it.

Opportunities 2019
Recently we handed out the Ministry Opportunities forms for 2019. It takes a church wide team of people to make EPC an active, healthy congregation. We would love you to start thinking about your contribution and participation in the life and ministry of this church and using your time and gifts to serve Jesus in this way. If you didn’t get the handout please pick one up in the foyer. Response forms can be placed in the Connect Box on the small table.
