Mission Spotlight
This Sunday as we welcome Mike and Tammy - here from the far east - we are reminded that we are part of a “communion of the saints” that stretches beyond the walls of our church. We are reminded that Christ’s church is bigger than Longview EPC, bigger than Texas, bigger than the United States. As we hear their stories and ponder missions in general, we are helped to remember that we have brothers and sisters being born all the time, giving and receiving care all the time, and rejoicing in the Lord all the time - because God is on the move ALL THE TIME!

Dare to Know…the Opposite Sex
|
|
Ever wondered why repeatedly asking your husband “Have you done it yet?” is such an annoyance to him? Have you wondered why a guy seems to take off in the middle of conflict, physically if possible, but if not, then mentally or emotionally? Have you ever wondered why women say, “I’m fine” when they’re obviously not? Have you ever been left in a puddle of confusion when your daughter accuses, “Dad, you’re not listening to me!” when you just spent the last half hour listening to her?

Thank you!
Dear EPC Friends,
"Nurse" Bill and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts (my new one!) for all of the prayers, support, love, delicious meals, cards, calls and emails covering us during this past month!
We could not have gotten this far without our faith and our amazing church family! What a blessing you are to us and so many!
I got an A+ from my surgeon today and when my energy level is fully back the new Deb will be better than ever! Ephesians 5:20
In Christ,
Debbie Bankston
