New Sermon Series Begins April 11: "Rise & Share"

Background: Luke follows up his Gospel account after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus with this book. In it he describes the ripple effects of such a monumental event in the lives of people who experience this new life. READ MORE HERE
Description: Spring and summer bring signs of new life. Following the winter cold, new life arises with the warmth of these seasons. Many people have experienced this past 12 months as a prolonged winter and wonder what kind of new life will arise. As God’s people, this is something we need not wonder, for we know the character of our God! READ MORE HERE

Dear Longview EPC,
-
A Ruling Elder in one of our EPC churches is involved with the EQUIProject Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides disaster relief assistance to deployed first responders. This organization has received an urgent request for volunteers to help FEMA with COVID-19 vaccine distribution in Memphis, Tennessee; Loveland, Colorado; and perhaps other locations.
-
Volunteers are needed for 1-2 weeks at a time for non-clinical roles, such as data entry and traffic control. FEMA will pay for transportation, hotel, car rental, gas, and food. READ MORE HERE
