June and July Roster Time
Hi EPC Members,
It’s roster time again! If you serve in any area at EPC, please complete the June and July 2024 Availability form as soon as possible. It would be such a blessing as it would mean the rosters for these months can be completed well ahead of time. If you have any questions, please speak to Helen or email administration@elthampc.org.au
Thank you everyone for all you do in helping to serve EPC on the roster.
Safe Church Refresher Course
Everyone who is currently safe church approved in our congregation, every year needs to complete the Safe Church Refresher Course in order to maintain the Safe Church Basic Training.
Once you have completed the Refresher Course please email Holly Bligh, who is the Safe Church rep at EPC at administration@elthampc.org.au so she can record that you've completed it for this year.
We are asking all Safe Church Approved members of our congregation to complete the Refresher Course and notify the Safe Church Rep that they have done so no later than July 2024.
The Safe Church Refresher Course is a brief online presentation available at the PCV Safe Church YouTube Channel, designed to ensure adherence to Safe Church policy, procedure and practice. An offline version of the Safe Church Refresher Course is available for those people without access to the internet - contact the Safe Church Unit to have this directly posted by mail. Alternatively it can be downloaded HERE.
Click HERE for the online Safe Church Refresher Course. Paper copies of the refresher course are also on the table in the entrance to the church in a big yellow folder. Anyone can take a paper copy and read through it to complete the refresher course.

Food Share
We know that there are many families in Australia struggling to put food on their tables let alone pay their mortgages. It is a privilege to see families from our fellowship support others, by either, donating financially, or through our food share box. Our box is currently empty. If you are able to help fill it, it is much appreciated, we would love to see it overflowing!
Direct donations can also be made to Diamond Valley Foodshare. Their bank details are:
Account Name: Diamond Valley Foodshare
BSB: 633-000
Account No: 129082780
Thank you for supporting this cause,
Lyn and Judy
Pastoral Care Zones
The congregation is divided up into three broad Pastoral Care Zones with different Pastoral Care team members assigned to each zone. To help highlight these zones we are going to hold three separate Sunday events - either an after church lunch or 5:00pm evening meal. The goal is to create a sense of fellowship with those who live in the same zone and to help us be more aware who our Pastoral Carers are.
Our three zones are East, West and South. The divisions are not exact and have some flexibility built into them. You will soon receive personal invitations to your zone event.
The dates are:
WEST: June
2EAST: June 1
6SOUTH: June 23
