Summer...TIME continues July 8 through Aug. 19
|
|
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 the foyer and enjoy coffee and snacks and visit with old friends and make new friends.

EPC Family,
Thank you so much for the sweet reception and beautiful Brookwood Cross. I will treasure the cross and the precious children who signed it. Thank you all for allowing me to serve the kids of our church; I loved every minute of sharing the love of our Lord with them!
Peace and Love,
Emily Holloway

Dear Supporter of EPC Youth,
We, the youth of Longview Evangelical Presbyterian Church, want to thank you for your support of our
Bubba’s
fundraiser. We hope all of your food was as good as ours. We saw a lot of familiar faces supporting us.
Bubba’s
donated 10% of the night's proceeds to our mission work. We were able to raise over $220.00 for missions. With the money raised from this event, we will be able to continue to go on mission trips and spread the good news of Jesus Christ. As we have been taught on these trips, it is our duty to be the “hands and feet” of Christ. We would not be able to do this without your continued help and support. Again, thank you for your support of the mission work of our Youth.
In God’s Service,
The Youth of LEPC

LCM Food Box ...Urgent Request for Cereal Shortage
|
|
Thank you for your response so far !! We delivered lots of cereal to LCM yesterday!
Food Box still has a need for boxes of cereal - small, medium or large. They have a very limited supply. Fred Ayres, Director of Development at LCM, has asked that we please pass on this message to our congregation, as this is one of the staples they always try to distribute.
You might even consider making a special "cereal run" and dropping it off at LCM Food Pantry on Third Street. Our continued support to LCM is very valuable to our community.

Junior High Mission Trip to Lake Jackson July 19-22
|
|
Our goal for our youth and leaders is that their lives will be transformed as they begin to see their stories as a part of God's big, ongoing story ... something so much bigger than they ever imagined. Through meaningful service activities, group exercises, prayer and intentional times for reflection, our mission trip hopes to make a difference in the lives of those with whom we interact. Our Youth will be interacting with the people of the Lake Jackson area. They will be serving the disenfranchised of Lake Jackson. The work they will be doing consists of them building wheel-chair ramps, painting homes, cleaning homes, replacing handrails, etc. In the midst of their work, they will seek to build a relationship with their clients in hopes of being able to take time to pray with and/or witness to their client. The hope is that the client will see the love of Christ within the servants of Christ.
The following junior high youth and their adult sponsors plan to participate in this important experience: Kyle Ashley, Zane Bunn, Katherine Burlingame, Aidan Frazier, Carolyn Hale, Jack Hunt, Noah Leath, Sam Metzler, Matthew Minyard, Olivia Scantling, Carly Snyder, Erick Van Zyl, Jason Hubbard, Bill Burlingame, Kristi Hunt, Phyllis Leath, Josh Newsham, Cody Parks, Stephen Tubergen, Lisca Van Zyl, & Raymond Wei.

Following testimony in the second phase of Andrew Brunson’s trial on May 7 in Turkey, the court ruled to keep the EPC Teaching Elder jailed until at least the next hearing, scheduled for July 18. The date is 24 days after Turkey’s snap presidential elections, which were called in April by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for June 24—17 months ahead of their original date of November 2019.
