The Christian Education Committee is excited to tell you about several upcoming events:
On Sunday October 14th following the worship service there will be a presentation about Mission in the World given by Reverend Mike after he returns from a PC(USA) Mission Conference in Dallas. Before the presentation we will enjoy a potluck lunch and fellowship with our church family. Just bring a dish to pass—paper products and drinks will be provided by the Christian Education Committee.
All Saints’ Day will be commemorated on Sunday November 4th following the worship service. From Companion to the Book of Common Worship: All Saints’ Day is a time to rejoice in all who through the ages have faithfully served the Lord. The day reminds us that we are part of one continuing, living communion of saints. It is a time to claim our kinship with the “glorious company of apostles … the noble fellowship of prophets … the white-robed army of martyrs”. It is a time to express our gratitude for all who in ages of darkness kept the faith, for those who have taken the gospel to the ends of the earth, for prophetic voices who have called the church to be faithful in life and service, for all who have witnessed to God’s justice and peace in every nation. Following worship we will be participating in a cemetery clean-up while learning about past members of EBPC and their contributions to our church. This is a great way to learn more about the history of our church. Be sure to dress for the weather!
On Sunday December 2nd we will be making Advent wreaths. Each family is invited to stay after worship and create a wreath to take home. An advent wreath is a great way to keep Christ at the center of Christmas and teach children the true meaning of Christmas.
The children will be participating in the Shepherds Game during the month of December (date to be announced). This should be a fun and educational event for the children of the congregation during the Christmas season.
