December and January Roster Time
It’s roster time again! If you serve in any area at EPC, please complete the December 2024 and January 2025 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. We are aware that December 2024 & January 2025 is holiday time and many church members will be away during those months. This means we will be short of volunteers for the EPC Church Roster, so if you are available, please indicate that on the Availability Roster Form.
If you have any questions, please speak with or email Helen or email administration@elthampc.org.au for further information.
Thank you everyone for all you do in helping to serve EPC on the roster.
Simon Camilleri visiting this Sunday
Simon Camilleri, from Bundoora Presbyterian Church, will be visiting EPC on Sunday to share about his new children's book, "Wow God! Thank you, Sorry, Please - a kid's guide to prayer".
This is a wonderful book for children and adults alike, and gets us thinking about who we pray to, how we pray, and what we can pray about.
Simon will be available after the service with books and other items for sale (cash or card facilities available). This book would make a terrific Christmas or Birthday gift for family and friends, or for yourself to read with any kids who may visit your home.

"Here is a book that draws grown-ups like me into the privilege and preciousness of prayer... In the end, this is the very best type of children’s book. It’s subtitled, 'a kid’s guide to prayer', but the true, simple, deep lessons from God’s word serve us well beyond childhood." - Colin Buchanan
Bibles for the Persecuted
This week we start the Bible League’s 21 Days of Prayer for the Persecuted. Prayer booklets are available on the table to help us pray for persecuted Christians worldwide. Money boxes are also available. The idea is that you can regularly put some money in every day as part of remembering the persecuted or you can use it for any loose change that comes your way. Collection Sunday will be December 3.
You can also just make a donation online through our bank account (make the reference, Persecuted).
EPC Spring Dinner
The next EPC Church Dinner is this Saturday 16th November. Arrive at 5:45pm for a 6:00pm start.
It will be held in the EPC Hall and will be a dinner of baked potatoes. Please bring toppings to share, i.e. meat/salad or dessert. Family and friends are most welcome.
Email adminstration@elthampc.org.au for further information including RSVP info.
We'd love to see you all there!
EPC Carols Service
Our yearly EPC Carols Service is going to be held indoors at EPC on Saturday 14th December at 5:00 pm with a sausage sizzle to follow!
Feel free to invite your friends and family for some caroling, we hope to see you there!
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. If you are able to help fill our Food Share collection box, 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

Thank you for supporting this cause,
