2 April 2015 Pastor s Corner- A Note from Pressley Amazed By Ann Weems The people who heard Jesus were repeatedly amazed. Are we today so sophisticated That we are immune to Amazement? Can we know that he was Crucified, Goodness and Compassion And Love Nailed upon the tree, And go about our business of preparing Easter dinner? Can we know that he arose From the dead And walked the earth And ate and spoke With his followers And sit unamazed in the pew As though we cannot hear The WORD OF GOD? O God of Jesus the Christ, The amazing thing Is our lack of amazement In the face of your AMAZING AMEN! May you renew your amazement in Christ this Easter season! Easter blessings and joy, Pressley April Worship Schedule April 5 Easter Sunday Communion Seeing and Believing John 20: 1-18 April 12 Second Sunday of Easter Stop Doubting and Believe John 20: April 19 Third Sunday of Easter Two Cents a Meal Peace be with You Luke 24: April 26 Fourth Sunday of Easter Scout Sunday Charlie Pratt Preaching John 10: We are one family in Christ, living in community, celebrating our faith, called, comforted and challenged by the Word of God, reaching out to all persons.

When children are born, they are baptized as a promise of their parents conviction that they will live in a world of faith and love. Those children eventually refresh that vow in their own words, deciding for themselves how to live out their faith, and how to walk in this world. It is a journey that is at once an end and a beginning, a circle at times of questions and affirmations, doubt and fierce joy. But it is a path that we all walk, in one form or another, and we welcome them. All 7 th and 8 th graders are invited to the 2015 EPC Confirmation class. Please let Pressley (pressley@eastminster.com) or Lynn (lynn@eastminster.com) know if you plan to take part in the class!

9 Eastminster Presbyterian Church Read through the Bible in 2015 Join us in our 2015 EPC Bible reading plan. We will be posting readings in the monthly newsletter. If you follow the suggested daily reading, you will have read the WHOLE Bible by the end of 2015! Don t forget to bring your lunch on the 4 th Sunday of the month and join us for Food For Thought regarding these texts. We recommend getting a journal or writing down observations from your reading. Consider using the SOAP method and finding a reading partner to keep you accountable. SOAP method Scripture Read the passages of Scripture. Observation Write down what stands out to you. Application How does this apply to your life? What is God saying to you through this passage? Prayer Pray about what stood out to you from the Scripture and conclude your time by praying through the Lord s Prayer.

Let s celebrate all that s happening by a church wide lunch on the grounds following worship! SHEPHERDING EPC STYLE! Know well the condition of your flocks, and give careful attention to your herds. Proverbs 27:23 One of the reasons I love being a member at EPC is that we are a truly a family of shepherds. We care about one another like a shepherd cares for his sheep. We help each other through the difficult times and as families do, celebrate happy times together. We are a growing family and have been blessed with many new members in the past few years. And as we grow, it is more important than ever to keep connected and try our best to be aware of the concerns and needs of our family members. The Membership Team will be dividing the congregation into FLOCKS and is looking for SHEPHERDS to lead them! We pray that many of you will hear the call! The commitment will be small but the reward will be great. The duties of the shepherds will be simple: You will be asked to contact those in your flock 3-4 times a year to just check in and make a personal connection. It will be a simple phone call or a greeting in church to just say hello how are you doing is there anything you need? We will have a Shepherd Training session on Monday, April 6th at 7PM (more details to follow) at which time we will choose flocks and go over the responsibilities of being a Shepherd. The more shepherds we have, the smaller the flocks will be and our goal is to have one Shepherd for every 4 or 5 families. You may be approached by one of our team members to be a part of this important ministry. We have 15 Shepherds so far! If you want more information or want to volunteer, call Anita Harley at or ask any member of the Membership Team. It says in John 10:14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me. 10
