Hi Everyone,

This Sunday

Working Bee - October 11

Please note in your diaries that there will be a Working Bee Saturday morning, October 11. It is good for us to look after the property God has given us to use in His service. Working Bees are also a great time of Christian fellowship as a church community. Come and join the fun!

October and November 2025 EPC Roster Form

Ephesians 6:7: "Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men”

Hi EPC Members
It's roster time again! Please complete the October and November 2025 EPC Roster Form as soon as possible so that these rosters can be completed well ahead of time. Thank you for all you do in serving at EPC. If you have any questions, please contact Helen or email administration@elthampc.org.au

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 October 2025.

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. It's also recommended to review the Safe Church Policy, Code of Conduct and Policy, Procedure & Practice Manual. Copies of all of these documents are in the church and available online at the Safe Church website.
