Longview Community Ministries Announces Kick-off
12th Annual "Souper Bowl" Sunday Food Drive
February 4
The Mission of the annual event is to encourage our community to join the fight against hunger and poverty. Groups and individuals celebrating the "Souper" Bowl will collect canned goods and non-perishable foods for the Food Box of Longview Community Ministries.
Deadline for all donations will be the Friday following Super Bowl Sunday.
Inspire & Be Inspired!
On January 28 during the Sunday School hour we will hear from our Missionaries who serve in Africa with Overland Mission. It should be an exciting time as Jake & Hannah Magness and Brandon & Lauren (Konvalin) Bender are interviewed. Hear how they see the Lord Jesus on the move in the territories to which He has sent them. We will meet in the sanctuary at approximately 11 a.m.
Please don't under estimate the encouragement your presence is at this gathering for Jake, Hannah, Brandon and Lauren.

Dear Longview EPC,
It was very comforting to me to know you were praying for me. I went through some difficult times, but have completely recovered. I feel your prayers contributed to my recovery. My heartfelt thanks!
Sincerely yours,
Joan Marie Rowland (Jill Smead's Mother)
