Dear Church Family,

This Sunday you will have the opportunity to visit another church. You might want to go back to one that you went to before or try a totally new church. These visitations are for you to further explore what church is a good fit for you.  Please know that no one will ever tell you where you should worship. God speaks to each of our hearts individually and God alone knows your path ahead. As your pastor, I just want you to find a new church home where you can grow, serve and be cared for in times of need. If you learn something new about a church, please let us know so we can share it with the rest of the congregation.

Thank you for being so faithful during this challenging time.

Romans 15:13
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Grace abounds,
Pastor Barbara 

 

 

 

 

 
 

THERE WILL BE NO WORSHIP AT EGPC!

 

 

 

 
 

Isaiah 42:16
I will lead the blind
by a road they do not know,
by paths they have not known
I will guide them.
I will turn the darkness before them into light,
the rough places into level ground.
These are the things I will do,
and I will not forsake them.

Food Pantry Updates!

 

 
The EGPC food pantry continues to serve our community and our volunteers remain faithful in their service to us. We are committed to adhering to all precautionary measures to ensure no cross-contamination with clients. The Food Pantry Donation drop box always seems to be filled. As you check on your neighbors, please share with them that our food pantry is open and ready to help anyone who needs food!

Food continues to appear in our food box.  Almost daily there is something donated and many times from people we don’t even know! I want to send a special thanks to all those faithful shoppers who each week pick up the special things we need. It is an ongoing blessing to be so graciously supported by your donations and donations from our community.

Thank you!
