1st Sunday Christmas Potluck Dec. 7
All are welcome following Sunday School. The church will provide ham, you provide the sides.  We are requesting more salads and side dishes rather than desserts please. Don't forget - just come - even if you  forget your side.  See you there!  - Rick Poland
Angel Tree
Christmas Angel Adoption! Terrye Hudson is adding envelopes for children from Ware Elementary each week for Christmas gifts.
There are two trees in the Foyer.  One for Boys and one for Girls.   Please take an envelope (or two) and sign up so Terrye will know which child you have.  Monetary donations are greatly appreciated because she has Elves who will shop!
Please return WRAPPED Gifts (complete with the child's name - list attached) to Room 104 in Trinity Hall by Dec. 15  THANK YOU!

  • Ware Faculty Christmas Luncheon - Wed., Dec. 17
    Our seasonal thank-you to the faculty at Ware.
    We are having Papacita's catering so I will need volunteers to bring crockpots of Queso and desserts. We are feeding 70 starting at 10:30 and finishing about 1:30.  We will be serving the staff ourselves, so I will also need servers. If you can't help on this day but still want to contribute in some way, I know any monetary donation to help out with the cost of the lunch would be greatly appreciated. :-)              Thank you ALL,  Terrye
Thank You!
Dear Friends of EPCL,
First of all I want to apologize for the delay in getting this out to all of those that supported me and my family on the passing of my mother in early October. But to quote Emily Post, it's never too late to write a thank you.
          I did not see coming the outpouring of love, sympathy, and support for my family with the passing DInDin (as she was known to her family). She was not known to you but you honored her through your support of the Hudson's. She was a wonderful women, who raised 4 children after being widowed while I was in Junior High. My siblings and I were proud to call her our mom.
          From the cards, to the food, flowers, attendance at the service, watching our pets, contributions to the church, and most of all prayers, I want to say thank you to my brothers and sisters in Christ. While it may be a little late, it is so heart fully appreciated. We could not have gotten through it without you all. She was a woman of God, and I miss her but know that I will see her again. With much appreciation, Mike, Terrye, Paul, Matt and Melissa Hudson

To EPC,
Many thanks to all the caring people who showed their concern over my house intrusion and also the very many birthday cards for my many years. I am so lucky to be a part of this church. Blessings to all of you, Vi Hammett
