Prayer Calendar for January 2015
PROVIDED BY THE PRAYER MINISTRY OF EPC LONGVIEW
           The January Prayer Calendar is inserted in the Bulletins this Sunday.    This calendar is designed with one specific prayer request for each day of the month.  Scripture instructs us to pray for one another; therefore one person or family is included each day to receive our united prayers.  We become one in Christ as we unite in prayer to our Sovereign God.
 We have listed the first three days of January below:
            PLEASE PRAY EVERYDAY....IN JANUARY 2015
...that as God's masterpiece we will be a blessing to others in this new year.    Ephesians 2:10                                                                              
Daily continue to pray: 
1...with gratitude for our compassionate God who sends His spirit to strengthen us and give us hope and peace.                                                      
Gary & Julie Teel-Borders   Abbie Teel     II Cor. 4:8,9
2...for faith that in trying times we can turn to our all-powerful Lord, knowing with Him all things are possible.  Celeste Boyd  Phil. 4:19 
3...that when we experience true repentance, we bring great joy to God.     Leeann Bratteli     Luke 15:10

From your Treasurer
          The EPC budget for 2015 is nearing completion.  Thanks to the generous support of you, the congregation, we are growing both our income (pledges) and our expenses (church programs).  Your generosity and vision have made it possible to propose a budget reflecting 13% growth over this year.   
           Many thanks to the deacons, staff, and committees who helped put the budget together.  Our committee is grateful for your assistance, and for your commitment to our church.
              Thank you for supporting the work of EPC with your generous gifts.  Merry Christmas!
