Summer Sermon Series
Dry wells set you up to expect water, but they only provide dust; they promise quenching but leave you parched. Likewise, there are teachings in the church which sound life giving, but rather than drawing you toward God’s resources for growth and healing, they draw you toward something that sounds Christian but leaves you dry inside. This summer we are going to take a look at several of these “dry wells”. We will look at what they are, why they fail to provide, and where the water is. So come, let’s find living water together this summer!

Dear EPC Family, We cannot begin to thank you enough for the outpouring of love and support you've shown our family during this time of grief with my dad's recent passing. The cards, the food, the calls, and also those who came to dad's memorial service--it's all appreciated and it means the world to us. With daddy's death comes a big void in our family, but prayer and community will help us move forward. We love this church, and it's all of you who make it warm, welcoming, and nurturing. Thank you for being the servants you are and for the love you show to our family. In Peace, Sheri, Bill, Caroline, and Katherine Burlingame
(In response to senior gift given May 1, 2022 - Youth Sunday)
