June 10
Sermon: "The Guardian's Way"
Psalm 121
June 17
Sermon: "Worship"
Psalm 122
Summer is a time between. It takes place between Memorial Day and Labor Day. We are out of school. We are on vacation. We are traveling. A lot happens during this "between" time and a lot happens in the in between of all of our lives: Between now and then, between here and there, between what is and what is yet to be, between you and me.

One of the best parts of the summer is TIME. With school being out and vacations being taken, summer is the prime time for TIME. Time with friends, time with family, time to relax, time to play, time to simply
be
. In that spirit, this summer we are inviting our faith family and friends to take time to
be
together.
Instead of offering summer school lessons we are offering Summer...TIME!
Take the time after worship to gather in Trinity Hall and enjoy coffee and snacks and visit with old friends and make new friends.

Dear EPC Family,
Thank you for embracing our family after Byron passed into Glory last week through your prayers, visits, calls, texts and delicious meals and desserts. They all said, "I love you" to our family. Also, thank you for your support and being there for us since Byron's diagnosis. You ministered to him by accepting, loving and treating him like everyone else. As he progressed you made allowances for his memory deficits and still loved him and continued to treat him like everyone else. That was very important to him. You made him feel valued and that he still had something to contribute. He has faithfully thanked God for you - his church family and friends - each time we prayed together throughout his illness, even though these last few months when he couldn't really speak much. (I would say the words, and he would say "Yes.") Know how very grateful he was to all of you and how much he loved you. Thank you again for walking with us on this long journey. God bless you all. With love and thanksgiving,
Dorothy Horne and family
Dear Church Family,

But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.
17
Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
We would love to have someone praying every thirty minutes during VBS. We want to pray for all the parents and volunteers who will be serving God's children. Pray that God will bless all the parents who will serve their children by taking the time out of their busy schedules to bring them to VBS. Also pray that God will grant a special measure of power, love, wisdom, and grace to all of our volunteers as they strive to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and to glorify His holy name.
