ELTHAM FESTIVAL OUTREACH 2019
A report is on the table. Please take one.
MEETING REGARDING YOUTH PLANS
When: Sunday … 11:40am
There will be a special meeting today to present our goals for Youth Group and discuss where we are heading for 2020 and beyond. If you have a child who has, or is about to, graduate from Sunday School or have a child in years 5-6 this meeting is especially for you. Of course, every parent is invited because this involves future plans for all the children of EPC.
BOARD OF MANAGEMENT NOMINATIONS
Although nominations closed last week, we still have a few vacancies on the Board. If you’d like to serve on the Board, please fill in a form and have someone sign it before handing it to Ian Courts today or posting in the box on the table.
MEMORY VERSE CHALLENGE
This week’s passage: ” For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39).
NEW APPOINTMENT
The session is pleased to announce that Marie Van Ravesteyn has been appointed to lead the Outreach Influence Team. Her key responsibilities are to promote and facilitate the Organic Outreach Model as we seek to deepen our outreach mindset in every ministry and in every individual from our pastors all the way down to our children.
VILLAGE2VILLAGE
Each year we take the opportunity to fund youth from Kanini’s home village in Kenya to attend a week-long Christian Camp where they get great Bible teaching and make friends with many other Christian youth. It takes less than a McDonald’s meal to cover the full cost of the camp for one person! This is an easy way for Kanini’s new home village, that being us, to bless her original home village with something of eternal value. The camp is in first week in December. We will be collecting donations this Sunday.
