Dear Fellow Travelers,
 
We are in full swing for Fall! Our Bible Study has resumed. The preschool has started. Our new pianist Daniel has started playing for us regularly. And our new roof has withstood two major rain events without a leak! Thank you so much for all your support!
 
Bible Study on 2 Corinthians has resumed. Both the Sunday (11:30 AM in the Library and also on Zoom!) and Tuesday (10 AM on Zoom) groups really enjoyed the new material. Log in information is on the back of this newsletter. If you would like to download the study guide, please click the link on our website home page, www.epc-pcusa.org
 
Games Night on the 2nd Saturday of each month continues. The next one is October 12th at 7 PM. Crafternoon is a great success. We will have it again on the 3rd Sunday after worship on October 20th. Men’s Group is very active. They meet at 9 AM on Saturday Mornings. Women’s Association meets on the 2nd Wednesday of the month at 11:30 or Noon, depending on whether it is at Pancake Haus or at the church.
 
Please tell your friends and family about our Online Streaming Worship. We are averaging about 30 views per week and would love to see it grow! Please go to the www.epc-pcusa.org website for the latest links.
 
​This is what I am planning for worship in October.

Sunday, October 6th. In “The Devil Made Me Do It” I will show the array of evil beings in the Bible. Only later in church history did these coalesce into our images of Satan. It is important to understand this history when you encounter evil in the world. 

Sunday, October 13th. The story of the Rich Man asking Jesus what he needs to do to achieve eternal life is one of most perplexing in the gospels. “Then Come and Follow Me” is how salvation is not about doing something but putting your trust in Jesus. Jesus flung the gate wide open.

Sunday, October 20th. In Job 38 and Psalm 104 we get “Caught Up in a Whirlwind.” The sweeping images of God’s glory can be disorienting. But instead of trying to understand and control everything, it is better to enjoy the thrilling ride of life.

Sunday, October 27th. One of the greatest challenges of modern Christianity is the idea of “Prosperity Gospel” and it is everywhere in our American culture. In this sermon I will cover the history of it and how we can avoid its traps while enjoying the goodness of God blessings.

It is a joy to serve God with you! I look forward to worshiping with you in October!
Grace and Peace, Pastor Rob
