Deacon Spotlight: Connections Team
This Deacon team is charged with helping people identify places where they can be of service to the church and the larger community; and to coordinate the placement of people within these service areas. Likewise, they work with the church data base to keep track of all the volunteers in the church in order to prevent over-utilization of certain people and under-utilization of others.
This team meets quarterly or as needed. The deacon is responsible for facilitating and coordinating meetings, maintaining minutes, helping the pastors with the volunteer organizational structure of the church, and keeping the database updated. Tammy Moyes is the current Deacon serving with Denise and Pat Frederick, and Staff Liaison is Suzi White.

Children's Programs are Gearing UP!
|
|
Would you like to be a part of sharing God’s love with the children in our church? You don’t have to be a Bible scholar, or a trained teacher. All you need is the desire to share the love Christ has so freely given to you. You could lead Sunday’S Cool classes, or work with a small group during Pioneer Clubs. There are many ways to share what God has given to you and connect with the young people in our congregation. Contact Emily Holloway - eholloway@epclongview.org or Cindy Best - cbest79@gmail.com to let us know how you would like to be involved with EPC Kids.

Brothers and Sisters!
Thank y'all so much for using the resources God has given EPC Longview to participate in the work He is doing in students' lives.
Every student needs to hear and is hearing about the God who became a man, who knows our pain, and bore our sins. As you give, you are participating in students growing in hope through the work of God's spirit as they look to the gospel.
God is using your generosity to transform students' lives. I know you could give your resources to many places, so I just want to say Thank You for giving to the work God is doing.
Dan Smith, Reformed University Fellowship
