EP Kids Choir

EP will have its very own kids Christmas choir this fall. Rehearsals will begin September 8 and go once a week until the beginning of December, when all the students’ hard work will culminate in a special Christmas performance. We will rehearse from 12:00-1:30 immediately after worship service on Sundays, learning traditional carols, tunes with a new twist, and what the Bible says about worship. (We might even dip our feet into music theory!) The deadline for registration is September 1st. Register your child at the button below. Email Anna McVae with any questions.

‘Made for More’ PCA Women’s Conference at EP

On November 15-16, 2024, EP Church is hosting the ‘Made for More’ PCA Regional Conference for women. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome women from all over our region to join us as we’ll see how God made us for more through our creation design, gospel identity, and inter-generational friendships. Together we’ll explore how satisfaction, significance, and sufficiency can only be found by seeking our Savior. We encourage women and girls (third grade and up) to join us. This conference is for ALL women—young, single, married, and “more seasoned,” as well as your treasured friends. So, gather the women in your circles, plan for a special weekend, and book your seats! For questions, please contact Cheryl Mullis.

Pray First Monthly Prayer

Join us for Pray First the first Sunday of the month, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Chapel as we pray for the Holy Spirit’s transforming work in us and through us as a church. We won’t meet in July, and our next meeting will be on August 4. We will be praying for the congregation, ministries of the church, leadership of the church, and outreach to the world around us. This is a wonderful opportunity to join as a church family and lift our voices to our Lord. Questions about how to participate? Contact Brian and Leigh Miller.

Worship Hour Preschool Helpers

We would love to see everyone (ages 20s-70s) take just two weeks per year to help with the little ones during the 10:30 a.m. worship service. If you are ready to bless our families and be blessed yourself in the process, please view the openings and sign up with the button below or stop by the EP Kids table in the Foyer on Sundays.
