April 5th, 2025

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 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. We look forward to getting to know you and walking after God's joy in the gospel together.

Pre-service prayer
We gather for pre-service prayer with the congregation at 9:45 am. Please come early as we pray for one another and for our worship.

Discontinuing Church App

Due to low usage, the media team is discontinuing the Church app on April 25th. Please save all your notes now prior to this date. The media team is working to revamp the website to meet the various needs.

Join Praise Team

We are looking for more volunteers who want to use their musical gifts to bless our community through leading worship. Please contact Jitae for more information!

EPC EM Intercessory Prayer Team (IPT)
The Intercessory Prayer Team meets every Sunday from 9:15-9:45 am in the conference room at the back of the sanctuary. We invite you to come and pray with the IPT for the service, our church & missionaries, and for the world. If you are unsure of how to pray or haven't done this spiritual discipline in the past, come and learn to pray with others in intercession in this great opportunity to bring ourselves before God.

EPC Giving and PayPal
If you give to EPC through PayPal on our website, please consider giving through a written check (be sure to write your name in the memo area for tax records) through our offering box in the back of the sanctuary near the lobby. This will help us avoid paying fees from the budget. Of course, if PayPal is the best option for you, we will continue to support that option.

Offering & Tithe Reminder
If you are mailing in offering checks, 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 God and supporting the body of Christ with your resources.

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

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 the "Connect" tab on our website and click on "Pastoral Care and Prayer Requests." 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.

Please continue to pray for all upcoming transitions, including leadership changes, our faithful community, and Pastor Sam and his family.
