leadership nominations

In our model (Presbyterianism) the congregation nominates and elects the leaders of the church. We encourage all members to prayerfully consider nominating individuals for the office of elder or to serve with the Mercy Team. We will provide specific information about qualifications and the process, but begin by praying and reflecting on who you think would be a good fit for either role. The nomination period goes through the month of May.

missions prayer gathering - May 14

Join us at the church office to hear updates about our missionary partners throughout the world and to pray for them. Dinner will be provided. Please RSVP by Sun, 5/11, to ensure building entry.

Safe families Volunteer training - May 17

Safe Families helps build resilient families by supporting parents, and is one of the organizations the church supports through the Mercy Team.

Bowery Women’s Dinner - JUNE 7

Sign up to serve a meal at the Bowery Women's Center.  On the first Saturday of each month, we are looking for one person to plan the meal (for 15-20 people), and a few others to join in preparing the food. You'll arrive around 3:30 to begin preparing, and dinner is served at 6pm. EPC reimburses the costs of the meal. Consider if you (and your HFG / friends) would come serve one month!  Learn more about this opportunity.
