Women's Prayer and 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 9th October. We'll meet in the portable.

Also, please remember to put the rest of the dates for this year in your diary. 

Upcoming Women's Dinner

Hi EPC ladies,

Planning is well under way for our upcoming Women's Dinner. Please start thinking of who you'd like to invite to our upcoming Women's Dinner and plan to come along too. The event is called Stories of Life and Faith where two EPC women will be sharing their stories of God's work in their lives over dinner.

Please RSVP by 20th October online or by contacting Deirdre. Attendance costs $15 to cover dinner and dessert for each person. The event is on Saturday 26th October from 6-8:30pm at EPC. Please arrive at 5:45pm for a 6pm start.

Please speak to Deirdre or email adiminstration@elthampc.org.au for further information. We hope to see you there!

Final week to fill your shoeboxes

Thank you to everyone who has made items to go into the shoeboxes and those who have donated money for transport and extra items.

You now have just one week to finish filling your boxes ready for collection Sunday, 13 October – NEXT WEEK! Just think how excited the children will be when they discover all the wonderful things you have carefully chosen for them!

When I used to go to PNG with MAF and CRMF the only ‘toys’ I saw children playing with was a long stick with wheels on the end and one child made a plane with a marrow and bits of stick.

If you wish to see how receiving a box affected a small girl called Athena, click HERE

Boxes and leaflets are still available in the church foyer if you haven’t picked some up yet.

Please bring your boxes along on Sunday 13 October, so we can stack them up on the table at the front of the church.
If you are unable to come on that date, please bring them this Sunday.

Thank you again for all your help.
Sheila & Judy
