Upcoming Events



  • Red Letter Summer Wrap Up LIVE TRIVIA on Facebook August 23 at 9:30.

Sunday Evenings, 5-6 pm

This Sunday our rising 6th graders will be - Set Apart - for service!

Project Host soup kitchen needs desserts and cards donated to fill their bagged lunches for the hungry in Greenville. This week we'll start with games as always, then at 5:30, kids will make cards and plan for next week, when we'll have "Iron Chef: Service Edition."

That's right, your kids will cook live on our Zoom call , and we hope you'll help them deliver what they make to Project Host! This week they'll need pen and paper as always, as well as blank cards (preferably unlined index cards, but cut paper works!).

See you Sunday at 5!
Epworth Children’s Home suffered a fire in early June 2020. For our Back-to-School service project in Children’s Ministry, we are asking our families to help raise funds for the recovery efforts in a unique way.  We are asking each family to donate $15.00 through Realm by clicking here. THEN you will be sent a Sign Up Genius link to choose a time slot one on either Aug.13th or Aug.22, for a Promotion Sunday Photo-shoot in Orders Garden at the Downtown Campus. 

Children’s Ministry will receive a copy of the photo of each child holding their own promotion sign (we will provide) that says what grade of Sunday School they are being promoted to. We will use these pictures for a special slideshow on Promotion Sunday, Aug. 30th. 

If you would like a copy of the photo or if you would like additional photos of your family at the time of your photo shoot, you will have the opportunity to do so by purchasing digital copies directly from the photographer, who will send you proofs. 

Photo Shoot Details for Virus-Safety:
  • Appointments take 5-10 minutes and are scheduled 20 minutes apart.
  • Your child will be given their own promotion sign to keep. They will not be reused.
  • Your child can remove his/her mask only while being photographed.
6 Days left!
