The Eastminster Future Committee
On Sunday July 30, 2023, the session called a congregational meeting to announce the creation of the Eastminster Future Committee. The session presented the idea of the committee to the congregation and then elaborated on it during the Corn and Watermelon dinner.
The presentation recapped what has happened and what we need to do to move forward, i.e., we need to come together to decide where the Lord is leading EPC. An information update and survey were handed out to everyone in attendance. If you haven’t already, can you fill one out? There are copies in the narthex and foyer.
We need your input! Please consider participating in the Eastminster Future Committee!!!
