"Making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world."
SUNDAY . NOVEMBER 29 . 10am . LIVESTREAM
This Sunday Pastor Sonny will begin our Advent series: "Singers & Seers: 2020 Exile Yearnings." We'll be sharing the words of the Psalmists (who help the people to express their needs and longings to God) and Prophets (who share God's hope to the people for a better life and better world). They are exiled and have been forced into unusual life in unusual circumstances; yearning to return to that which they've known before.
Each Sunday of Advent we'll move back and forth from the mouth to the ear ... to speak, and to listen - singing out to God one week and listening for God to speak through us the next.
REMINDERS
We typically have an Angel Tree at Epworth but need to do things a bit differently this year. We want to encourage you to stop by Concord Mills or Carolina Mall to adopt a child from the Salvation Army Angel Tree. The names on the trees are local children who have some Christmas wishes that you can help make happen. Angels can be adopted through December 12.
Beginning Sunday, Dec 6 we'll present part of the Christmas story; from Mary's encounter with the angel to the birth of our Savior. This is a different, but meaningful approach to the nativity. We would LOVE to have folks be part of behind the scenes, costumes, set up, tech support, characters and creativity.
If you would like more info on ways you can help - reach out to Lisa Ewers 704.985.5421 or Jen Hedrick 704.932.9328.
