Help to make this year’s Easter Egg Hunt a blast for our Faith Family and our Community! We are in need of:

  • We also need bags of individually wrapped candy, chocolate and non-chocolate that will not melt. 
There are many ways to help out this year, so please contact Emily Holloway, Cindy Best, or any member of the Children’s Committee (Kerri Daugbjerg, Amy Guest, Liz Johnson, Jenny Bond, and Mariana Sullivan) to find out how to get involved.
Thank You!
To our friends & church family at EPC,
Thanks to each of you for the cards, calls, food, visits and prayers when Richard and I were both hospitalized recently. The Christian love we were shown made it impossible to feel sorry for ourselves.
Thank you for your love, Marti & Richard Fuhrman
