During the summer months, we will be having one worship service starting on June 23rd. Join us at 10:00 AM each Sunday for our exciting new summer series, Build to Last, which is designed to give singles, couples, and parents practical and Biblical principles for growing flourishing people, marriages, and families.

The Epicentre staff team warmly invites those who have been attending Epicentre for a year or less to a Meat & Greet. Come hear more about the vision and values of our church as we share a delicious meal together. You’ll have a chance to meet Pastor John, members of Epicentre’s staff team, and other leaders. We are so glad that you are a part of our church family and we look forward to getting to know you better.
 
Our Meat & Greet will be on Sunday May 19, from 5-7 PM at Mike & Debbie Sayovitz’s.
Hope to see you there! Contact jessie[at]epicentrechurch.org to be added to an Evite invitation (which will have the Sayovitz’s address).

Get your groove on to help support Team Malawi. For more info contact Rachel Keener at journeykeener@gmail.com, or Suzanne Harlan at bintilnil@gmail.com.

“They all joined together constantly in prayer…” (Acts. 2:14). In the book of Acts, we read that the early disciples were always seeking the Lord together in prayer for courage, guidance, and deliverance.  As we continue to press into the fullness of what God has for us as a church, we desire that everything we do will come out of us being before the Lord together.  The staff invites you to join us in our annual churchwide prayer & fasting from the evening of Nov. 4 to morning of Nov. 11.  The theme this year is “Consecration.”  Click here for a copy of a reflection booklet you can use for the fast.

In conjunction with the church fast, come out to the community prayer and worship nights at our new prayer room: House of Prayer, Epicentre (or HOPE).  The HOPE room is located on the first floor of the church office.  Our community prayer and worship nights will be on Nov. 4, 7 & 10, from 6-7:30pm.

Operation Christmas Child is a ministry of Samaritan’s purse where shoe box gifts are packed and shipped to children around the world.  At Epicentre, shoe box packing is one of the highlights of our Christmas season.  This is a great activity to do as individuals, families, or in Lifegroups.  It’s been a great way to serve together, catch a heart for those around the world, and have fun.  This year our Shoe Box Collection Sundays at Epicentre will be November 4th, 11th and 18th.  There are many ways to get involved:

1) Pray.  Nothing is more critical to the work of Operation Christmas Child than dedicated prayer support  Please cover the project in prayer.  We have free OCC prayer bookmarks available at church on Sundays.
2) Give.  You can adopt-a-box that has already been packed and filled with gifts.  Just visit our Operation Christmas Child table on Sunday 11/11 or 11/18.
3) Pack a box.  Click on this link for a list of Gift ideas and tips on what to include and what not to include in your shoe boxes.  Please remember to include $7 per shoe box for shipping and handling.

Follow your box – for options 2 & 3, you can even make your shoe box donation securely online using EZ give and learn about the country where your gift is going: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/followyourbox/.

If you are interested in a hands-on experience volunteering at the Processing Center in Orange County on Monday 12/10, please email Annie Thaichareon, annie(at)epicentrechurch.org.

We will be having our annual orientation and training for everyone that is involved with or interested in joining our Kingdom Kids ministry on Sunday, September 16th, after service from 12:45-2:00p in the auditorium.  Childcare will be provided.  Please contact annie(at)epicentrechurch.org for more details.
