Rejoice in the Lord Always
I will say it again:  Rejoice!
Installation into the EPC April 6, 2014 @ 9:30am 
Worship with the Lord's Supper
     Last February at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Presbytery of the West, EPC Longview was received into full membership of the EPC.
During the Sunday morning worship service, we will be installed as a full member of the EPC.  A commission of representatives from the Presbytery of the West will join our staff in leading worship so that as one body we may rejoice over that which God is doing in our church and our denomination.  Please plan on attending this great milestone in the life of our congregation.  
    Following Sunday School we will have our potluck reception in Trinity Hall to conclude our celebration, so get those sides and desserts ready and let's show these Coloradans some down-home Texas hospitality!  [church provides the main dish.]
Thank You's
Dear Supporters of EPC Youth,
     We, the youth of Evangelical Presbyterian Church, want to thank you for your support of the Clay Shoot.  The weather held out and we had a good time of competition, fellowship, winning of prizes, and barbeque.  Everybody that participated had a great time shooting.
     The Clay Shoot was a huge success.  We were able to raise over 6,500 dollars for missions.  With the money raised from this event, we will be able to continue to go on mission trips and spread the good news of Jesus Christ.  As we have been taught on these trips, it is our duty to be the "hands and feet" of Christ.  We would not be able to do this without your continued help and support.
     Again, thank you for your financial support of the Clay Shoot and the Youth of Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
In God's Service,The Youth of EPC 
From Katie Cunha: 
     Wow, what a great service project we had! The kids baked over 200 items for the sale on Sunday and we got a really generous response! With the money we raised, we have purchased 12 packs of diapers, 80 pairs of socks, 80 pairs of underwear and 35 backpacks/duffel bags. Thank you for all the donations of clothes, games and other baby items. The director was speechless and very grateful. Great job kids, parents and congregation!
