WELCOME
A special welcome to EPC if you are visiting with us. We are at the end of a mini-series from the Book of Hebrews: Jesus. Gospel. Faith. Please stay around for morning tea and coffee after the service, we would love to meet with you.

BUSHFIRE APPEAL
This is the last Sunday for the special appeal for funds we are sending through to the Presbyterian Church of NSW, Jericho Road appeal. So far we have raised over $300, not including any donations people made directly to take advantage of tax deduction. Details of how you can still do this are on our Facebook page and web site.

OUTREACH INFLUENCE TEAM
The first formal meeting of the OIT will be Feb 16, 4:00-5:30pm. Marie will send out the agenda with the list of required readings closer to the date. Many of you are already reading  Organic Outreach for Ordinary People ( and  for Churches)  which gives you a great head start! We are looking forward to seeing how God will use us as individuals and as a church in 2020.   

LADIES GROWTH GROUP 2020
Don is planning to lead the Friday morning Ladies Growth Group this year.  Please contact Marie if you would like to join this group. We are planning to start sometime in February- date to be announced.

EVENING GROWTH GROUPS
Over the next few weeks the leaders of the regular evening groups will be in touch with you over when each group will resume for this year. If you are not a member of an evening group and would love to join one of the Monday or Thursday groups for deeper fellowship and personal growth, please talk to Don and we will find a spot that works best for you.

LENDING LIBRARY
There are three sections to our library: 1) ThinkLifethinkJesus with materials for lending to people who are searching faith issues (with free materials as well), 2) Organic Outreach books with other books on sharing your faith & comparative religions below them, 3) general materials on different topics. The library includes books and DVDs. Check them out by signing the folder sitting on the top shelf.

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES 2020
If you haven’t picked up the handout on ministry opportunities for 2020 please collect it from the foyer. We would love for you to start thinking about how you might serve in the life and ministry of the church next year and it helps us get better prepared for when we start up everything again in the new year after the December-January break. Place the response form in the box on the small table. This is especially true for lining up Sunday School Teachers.
