BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
Epworth invites you and your furry, fluffy, feathered and amphibious friends to a very special Blessing of Animals on Saturday, October 19 at 9am at Beverly Hills Park.
We'll have breakfast biscuits for humans as well as treats for pets! If you're able to help with baking biscuits and treats, please contact Teresa Gray at epworthchildren@epworthnc.com.
Please be sure pets are properly leashed or in appropriate containers.
A PRAYER FOR THE ANIMALS
We pray today, O God, for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for animals that are over-worked, under-fed, and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars; for any that are lost or deserted or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We pray for them all; and for those who deal with them, we hope for a heart of compassion, gentle hands, and kindly words. We would be true friends to animals.
AN EVENING WITH JOHN DENVER
As part of our new "Music in Mission" concert series, all are invited to
"An Evening with John Denver" on Sat. Oct 19 at 7pm.
Denver's classics will be performed by Rod Almond and Aspenglow.
This event is FREE and open to the public. A love offering will be taken to benefit Opportunity House; a local ministry that meets the needs of homeless in our community.
The Opportunity House has an urgent need for underwear, under garments and blue jeans. We'll be collecting these items at the concert.
More than just Sundays

We are happy to take requests for help if you have a home project.
