MISSIONARY VISIT THIS SUNDAY
Pam and Steve Hill will be with us during the Sunday School hour this Sunday, February 13th. The Hills have served for many years as missionaries with Africa Inland Mission. After serving for several years in the United States, they are now preparing to return to southern Africa with One Heart International Mission. (Internet site: http://oneheartint.weebly.com/members.html) This is our first year of supporting the Hills, and it is a great privilege having them present their work to us this Sunday. Pam Hill is Penny O'Connor's sister! We believe that each of the members of our congregation has been brought by God to serve Him at EPC in particular. Your connections in missions and ministry are important to us. Do you have someone on your heart that we need to know about? Please let one of the Deacons know.
BAPTISM THIS SUNDAY
We welcome Natalie Hope O'Connor into our church family. Natalie will be baptized in the morning service. We look to see this little gift of God grow in faith and obedience as a committed life-long follower of Jesus Christ. As we welcome her according to the Lord's sacrament, remember that we who have been baptized are to follow the Lord, who has cleansed us with His blood.
PRAYERS FOR THE CRAFT FAMILY
We received word last night that Joel's father passed away on Wednesday. Please pray for the Craft family as they travel to Illinois for the funeral on Saturday. The Crafts plan to be back with us in two weeks. We pray for God's comfort and for travel mercies.
UPDATE ON LYN DORAN
Lyn is recovering well from her knee replacement surgery. Her husband George is serving as her coach in this process. He reports that she is proving to be the trooper that we all know she is.
TIM SKETCHLEY IN AFGHANISTAN
Please keep Tim Sketchley in your prayers as he serves with the Marines in Afghanistan. Tim has just begun this tour of duty. Upon his return, he and his fiancee, Kim Johnson, will be married in Florida. Pastor Magee will be officiating. Tim is the brother of Nate Sketchley, who worships with us every Sunday. Nate, Tim, and their other brother, Zach, are all Marines. Their sister, Rachel, is finishing her education in Florida, and has expressed a desire to return to New Hampshire after completing her schooling.
