Look up Psalm 119:105 in your bible – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Look up John 8:12 in your bible – Again Jesus spoke to them saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”

Vespers at West is back, beginning Wednesday, March 1. This year’s theme is Ordinary to Extraordinary, exploring how an ordinary supper became the sacrament of The Lord’s Supper and what that means for us as we seek to follow Christ. Join us at 5:30pm each Lenten Wednesday at West Campus for a light meal followed by evening prayers and hands-on intergenerational programs including:

Wednesday, March 15 – Traditions Around the World – _____host needed________

We still need hosts to provide the evening meal each week of Vespers to West. This simple supper has been prepared by committees, individuals, and “unofficial” small groups in the past. To claim a week for your committee, your group, or yourself, please contact the church office. 

On August 4, 2019, EPC commissioned Kevin Ireland to vocational service within Christ’s church, blessed him as he answered God’s call to pursue a seminary education, and we promised to be a continual support to him through encouragement and prayer. Over the past 3 ½ years, Kevin has excelled in his studies at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, graduated, and now serves as a pastoral resident in Austin, while completing final requirements toward ordination through the Presbyterian call process. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s the latest update from Kevin.

Hello from the Irelands - keeping it weird in Austin. After graduation from APTS in May 2022, we moved to a small house in north Austin. Rowan is looking forward to graduating from McCallum H.S. in May 2023. They competed on the school swim team and performs with several choral ensembles. Kiran is a sophomore in the Performing Arts Academy at McCallum and had her stage debut in an original adaptation of Antigone. She is excited to be taking the play “on the road” for district and regional competitions. Rachel is working at Central Market (an upscale “European market”) and continues to grow her therapeutic massage practice. Kevin/I began the new year in Israel - spending two weeks traveling with a group from Austin Seminary and Congregation Agudas Achim (a Conservative Jewish synagogue in Austin). I continue to serve as the Pastoral Resident at Westlake Hills Presbyterian church where I focus on pastoral care, faith formation, and leading worship. We continue to be blessed by your prayers and support and look forward to worshipping together with you soon.

Shalom,

Kevin

Though lauded for his humanitarianism and statesmanship, Carter’s Christianity has usually been discounted by most of the media, wouldn’t you agree? But Carter’s pastor and friend, Dan Ariail, says, “You can never adequately grasp Carter himself unless you see his Christian faith, along with it standards and principles, as being the framework upon which all the rest is built-as a stack pole which holds up the whole thing.”
