EPC Gardening Bee - Saturday 31 August
Spring is almost upon us and it's time to do a tidy up of the EPC gardens. This will include weeding and some light pruning. Starting at 9am, all are welcome, please bring gardening gloves, a small bucket, a hat, and any hand tools that will help. Morning tea will be provided.
On the Road Conference - Geelong
Hi ladies,
On the Road Conference is on again! If you missed out last time, you still have a chance to go!
The topic this year is Discipleship, and Anna Harris from Ebenezer will be speaking to women from 2 Timothy 1 & 2 on what discipleship means for us today.
On the Road is a fantastic opportunity to gather together with Christian women from around the state and engage in faithful Bible teaching by women, for women. Tickets are $45 or $30 for BYO food. Bookings close on 1st September.
There are a few women from EPC who are keen to go down to Geelong together, so let Bec know if you've booked and we can arrange carpooling. It's sure to be a very encouraging day, and the trip down and back will make it even more fun!
If you'd like more info please email administration@elthampc.org.au
Women's Prayer & Coffee
This is your monthly reminder that Women's Prayer and Coffee is coming up again.
If you've come before, you'll know that it's an encouraging morning, praying for the church and each other and sharing some morning tea. If you haven't been before, we'd love to see you! Please pop it in your diary for Wednesday 4th September!
Email administration@elthampc.org.au for more information.
Samaritans Purse: Christmas Shoe Boxes
We have begun filling shoeboxes for children in various countries. Last year we sent 110 boxes overseas through Samaritan’s Purse. If you are not able to fill a box, but would like to participate in Operation Christmas Child, donations of individual items for a box or money, especially to cover the cost of transport for, the boxes are very welcome and appreciated.
We pray you are enjoying doing your own search for items to put smiles onto the faces of the many children who will receive them. It is a hands-on way for you to bless children in need across the world and it means so much to the children who will receive them. Samaritan’s Purse distributes them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.
What's really exciting, is that each child who receives a shoebox, has the opportunity to enroll in The Greatest Journey – a dynamic, 12-lesson Bible study course that guides them through what it means to faithfully follow Jesus Christ.
Boxes and leaflets are available in the church foyer.
The boxes will be collected on Sunday October 13th, so we can deliver them to the drop-off place.
