First Evangelical Presbyterian Church

Announcements

• Virus and Church Attendance

  Coronavirus Action Plan. I have talked to Dr Babb. There is elevated risk for people in our congregation. Precautions should be taken.

  Our first precautions are; if you feel ill please do not come to church. If you are concerned about getting sick, please stay home. We encourage you to join us by Zoom on your phone, tablet or computer. Zoom is a free app from google or apple, and it can be downloaded at zoom.us for the computer. The meeting number for every Sunday morning will be 7910902067. It will begin at 9:30. We will give a little zoom tutorial Sunday. Additional instruction can be found at the end of these announcements

  As for giving, you can give by credit or debit card through the web site.

  I encourage you to wash your hands often, cover sneezes and coughs, greet each other with an elbow bump instead of a handshake.

  Please also pray for God's protection, wisdom and strength. Be encouraged by the power of the Holy Spirit!!

  
  God bless you all!

• 2020 Census

  Please watch for census documents to come to you in the mail.

  Please fill these documents out and return in a timely manner.

  They are extremely important to us individually and as a community.

   

   

• Blessing Box

  Leadership Levelland has provided a Blessing Box for folks in our community. They have stocked the initial supplies. Our responsibility is to add foodstuff as needed. If you have any non-perishables you would like to contribute, please bring to church office.

• BILL'S BACK PACK

  We supporting Bill's Back Pack Program locally with donations of food or money.  This program provides needy students with snacks and light meal items to sustain them in the evenings and over the weekends.  We have recently supported them with donations of breakfast bars, oatmeal packets, vienna sausages, soup, ravioli, spaghetti o's, chili and cheese, peanut butter crackers and pudding cups.  Instant Oatmeal packets are the current donation for the month of March.

  This is a tremendously worthy cause for students who are in need.  No Child Should Ever Have to be Hungry!  Summer presents a very definite need for these young people and school in session does as well.

  You may bring your donations to the church office and leave them there for delivery.  Monetary donations may also be given and checks should be made out to Bill's Back Pack.

  Thank you for your generous support!

  Sick at home? Traveling? Just unable to be in church but want to hear Pastor Jon’s sermon as he delivers it?

  The solution is the little app Zoom. You will need to add Zoom to your device.

      For iOS (Apple iPhone or iPad), visit the Apple App Store and search "zoom"

      For Android, visit Google Play and search "zoom"

  After you launch the app, you have two options at bottom of screen.  You want to join a meeting-in-progress (Pastor Jon's sermon) so click on "Join a meeting." 

  3- Enter Meeting#  791-090-2067 and whoosh.....there you are, hearing Pastor Jon as if you were in the sanctuary in your pew!  This meeting number is permanent. It will always be that number.

  Did I mention this works well on your cell phone? You don’t have to use a desktop computer.
