December Table Talk Series: Aspects of Advent
19
Nov '18
Our December Table Talk series will be “Aspects of Advent.” There is a lot of nuance and “hidden” depths to the Advent and Christmas stories that we miss because the biblical authors assumed certain cultural, historical and prophetic knowledge that has been lost in the 2,000 years since the stories were recorded. Michael Babcock and Pastor David will explore several of these different facets in an effort to enrich and deepen our understanding and celebration of the incarnation of our Savior. Upcoming topics include:
November 28: Fulfilling Prophecy – Dr. Michael Babcock
December 5: Politics of the Times – Rev. David Garrison
December 12: No Room in the Inn – Rev. David Garrison
December 19: Questioning Christmas – Dr. Michael Babcock
December 26 & January 2: No Table Talk

We’re close to two months into the school year, but there are many children that still don’t have basic and essential school supplies. Over the next few weeks we are collecting supplies for our local elementary schools to give to their students who otherwise would go without. Here are a few items students need daily:
- Backpacks (currently 50% off at Target)
- Pens
- Pencils
- Crayons
- Paper
- Folders
- Markers
The next time you head to Walmart or Target, pick up some of these supplies. You may leave your donations in the church foyer where you will see the Mission/Outreach/Evangelism display. Thank you in advance!

Andrew Brunson Prayer Update
02
Oct '18
Andrew Brunson’s trial resumes next Friday, October 12. In preparation for that, we have gathered the following resources for you.
The first is a blog by Rev. Bill Campbell who was in the courtroom with Andrew at his trial last July. This provides not only first-hand insight into what it’s like in the courtroom, but also how things are for Christians throughout Turkey.
This is the first 13 days of a 31 day prayer initiative. The second half will be published once the outcome of his trial on October 12 is made known. These are short, daily prayers you can easily add to your daily quiet time routine or at any point throughout your day. Paper copies were made available last Sunday and are still available to pick up at church.
Call to Prayer and Fasting (October 2018)
In an effort to stand with and pray for the entire Brunson family, the EPC is issuing a Call to Prayer and Fasting for the week of October 8. We will make these available as a bulletin insert on Sunday, October 7.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for Andrew. May his faithfulness in spite of the adversity he’s faced encourage you in your walk with the Lord as well!

Table Talk Resumes Wednesday, September 19
28
Aug '18
This fall, we’ll launch our Wednesday evening Table Talk by concluding our series of studies Christian Faith and Other Faiths: Understanding and Outreach. We’ll begin with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS), more popularly known as the Mormons. We’ll look first at the founding and the growth of the LDS. Then, following the pattern of our previous studies, we’ll look at points of contact and points of conflict between the LDS and historic Christianity. We’ll follow a similar outline in exploring the history, theology, and practices of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
If you’ve ever wondered about either of these faiths – what they believe, why they are so persistent about coming to your door, or how to engage them in conversation – bring your questions and join us Wednesday evenings, beginning at 5:30 PM.

Annual Church Picnic

We’ll eat at tables under the big tent in the backyard of the church by the shade trees. There will be games for kids of all ages, great food and live bluegrass music provided by the talented Moore family, featuring Axn Jxn! The church will provide hamburgers and hot dogs cooked on the grill, beverages, buns and condiments. All who attend are asked to bring their favorite picnic dish to share. This is a great opportunity to invite extended family, former members, or someone looking for a church family, and let them experience what a
fun group your NEPC family is! In case of inclement weather, picnic will be moved inside to the fellowship hall. Please contact the church office or see the sign up sheet outside the sanctuary to reserve your seat(s).

Youth Group Kicks Off Sunday, September 9!

Aug '18
Every Sunday, beginning September 9
6:00-7:15pm
Youth Group returns on Sunday, September 9 at 6 PM! We hope you’ll plan to join us each week for fun games and opportunities to understand who Jesus is and who He is inviting you to become. All students in 6th-12th grade are welcome.
Our fall series is Inked.
Like a tattoo, our lives show we’ve been marked.
People get tattoos for a lot of different reasons, but in almost every case, it’s because they want to make a statement. To physically and permanently show others something about themselves, or what they believe, or what’s important to them. And the thing about tattoos? They’re pretty much forever. You can’t easily get rid of that statement, that mark.
The Christian life is a lot like a tattoo. When we place our trust in Christ, our lives are changed, transformed, marked. Permanently. And how we live our lives, the decisions and choices we make every day, speak as loudly as a tattoo. What does your life tell others?
Each Sunday @ Youth Group we’ll be exploring just what a life marked for Christ looks like. What are the characteristics and attributes that show a life that lives and shows “trust in Christ, expressed in love” (Gal. 5:6)? How do we live this out in our daily lives?
Join us each week as we explore those questions and more!
