Summer...TIME continues July 19 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

Also, bring lawn chairs and/or picnic blankets to be comfortable during the movie. The movie will be family friendly and suitable for all ages.

Dear EPC family,
Thank you for the opportunity to serve as church administrative assistant over the last eight months here at Longview EPC. I will be leaving soon because I have the opportunity to teach at the same college with my husband and to be a little closer to that precious little grandson of ours. Thank you for being patient and understanding as I learned the process of making the worship slides, The Good News, assisting with Pioneer Clubs, Music/Choir Team, Youth, V.B.S. and the other various things that go along with the daily duties at the church. I have grown to love the wonderful staff, precious ladies in the prayer group, the deacons and elders, choir members and the many others that serve at EPC. I know God has great plans for this church and I pray that He will continue to work mightily here.
Cheerfully in Christ,
Annette Clark
