[February 12, 2023} EPC Sunday Announcements

Welcome Newcomers to EPC!
If you are new to EPC, welcome and God’s peace to you!  We are so glad that you were able to find and join us.  We hope that the worship is both encouraging and convicting to you in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We would love to connect with you.  Please join us in the Lobby after service at the "Welcome Team" booth where we'd like to exchange some information and offer you a small welcoming gift.  We look forward to getting to know you and walking after God’s joy in the Gospel together.

EPC Congregational Meeting
We will be gathering for our Congregational Meeting on Sunday, February 5 at 12 PM to share ministry updates and to vote on supporting the 2023 EPC Budget.  If you are an EPC member, we ask that you be sure to attend and participate as is your privilege and duty.  If you are not an EPC member, you are still welcome to attend the meeting, but you will be unable to participate in the vote.  EPC will be sending out an email with the 2023 Budget and the information to all members in the next couple weeks to give you a chance to prayerfully look them over.  

EPC Giving Tax Summary
The EPC Giving Tax Summaries have been emailed out a couple weeks ago.  If you have not received your statement or if you have any questions, please reach out to Deacon Charles Park ASAP.

EPC Congregational Meeting Summary
At our Congregational Meeting this past Sunday, we voted to:
1. Approve the 2023 EPC Budget,
2. Approve the nomination of Deacon Tom Kimm as a potential Elder for EPC EM.
Thank you to our members for prayerfully participating in what God has called us to do as His church.  We look forward to God's continued leading in the rest of this year.

Survey for Parents of EPC EM
An email was sent out this past week for all EPC EM parents who have children in the ED Department (infant through high school).  Please take the two minutes to fill this survey out so that we can get an accurate count of students for our EPC EM Ed Dept Liaisons as they begin to work as the bridge between our congregation and the Education Dept.

Offering & Tithe Reminder
If you are mailing in checks as your offering and tithe to God's church, please be sure to write in the "Memo" section of the check, "EPC EM", so that we can be sure to receive your support and to correctly update your personal tax information.  
If you are giving online, please remember to write your name in the "Comment" section on PayPal.  
Thank you for obeying and supporting the body of Christ with your resources.

EPC In-Person & Livestream Sunday Worship
If you are joining us via "live-stream" and experience any issues, please email us at "emoffice@epcsj.org" to let us know as we grow in this new process. The "live-stream" link on our website will be updated every Sunday morning.

If you are with us in-person today and would like to give or tithe here at church, there is an offering box near between the Sanctuary and the EM Lobby where you can drop off your offering envelopes.  Otherwise, you can continue to give God your offerings online on our website under “Give”.

EPC EM App
The EPC App is live on our website for both iOS and Android.  Please go and download it for easy access to notifications for church events and announcements, sermons and content, ways to give, and more.  For those joining us “in-person” for Sunday Worship, you can now also register your attendance in the EPC EM App!  A big thank you to our “Media Team” who worked so hard to make this happen!

EPC Sunday Sermon Reflection Questions
We will be posting the "Sermon Reflection Questions" on the website under "Announcements" to better give access to the various life groups that meet.

EPC Pastoral Care and Prayer Support
If you are in need of pastoral care or would like to request prayer support from the pastors of EPC, please don’t hesitate to go to our website (epcministry.org) and click on “Pastoral Care and Prayer Requests'' under the “Connect” button.  You can keep it confidential if you wish to do so but we would love to serve you by walking with you in fellowship and prayer.
