The Good News July 9, 2020

Sunday - July 12 Worship Service in the Sanctuary at 9:30 am Sermon Series: The Parables of Jesus Sermon: "The Man with No Name" Luke 16:19-31

Please note: our in person worship is "socially safer" as you can see on the attached poster and the "Comeback" video link here. For those who aren't able to attend the service in person - each Sunday there will be Live Stream so you can worship with us from home at the same time. Online video of the worship service is available shortly after the service concludes. Watch your email Sunday morning and Facebook for the link. The church APP has a Live Stream link set up - just click on Livestream and the service is ready to view. READ MORE HERE to subscribe to the Longview EPC Channel. We know not everyone is ready to return or be in a large group. We have separate viewing rooms available with the Live Stream set up on TV's. You can reserve a room by replying to this email or calling the church office. Online video will be available shortly after the service concludes.  Questions about worship? FAQ here.

This summer, we are so excited to present EPC Kids families the opportunity to be Christ’s hands and feet to the local community. Every other week, we will have a service project ready to create at the church. Each family will be able to gather around a table together with all the supplies needed, as well as instructions, to complete the service project. The only thing missing is --- YOU!  continued next column...... If your family isn’t ready to gather at the church for these socially distanced service projects, feel free to contact the church office and arrange a time to pick up the supplies needed to complete the project at home!
