Midweek Update November 25, 2020

In this issue: Staff Time Off, Office Hours, Finances, RJAM, Birthdays & Anniversaries

Staff time off
Both Pastors and Jenya are off these last two weeks this November. For any pastoral concerns, please reach out to one of your Elders: Connie, Eleta, Meredith, Jay, or Fred. For any musical concerns, you are on your own!
Plan on all of our usual Zoom gatherings continuing during that time. Worship on Nov. 29 will be a Thanksgiving-themed service emceed by Elder Jay with involvement from the whole community. Here is the list of all up-coming gatherings (Zoom links on church website).
Wed, Nov 25: Thanksgiving Vespers service sent out by Eleta
Sun, Nov 29: Sunday worship at 10am, hosted by Jay
Sun, Nov 29: Bible Study at 6pm

Office Hours
In the Covid era, we do not have regular office hours. If you need to communicate with Office Manager Krysta Niznick, the best method is to email her at epchurch2149@gmail.com.

Financial Update
Budgeting for 2021 will not be easy because we have no income from AA and likely reduced income from the nursery school (before Covid these two organizations provided 40% of our income). So PLEASE, it will be most helpful if all of you return your pledge cards this week or email Krysta with your pledge: epchurch2149@gmail.com
Thank you, Ron Eggert, Treasurer

RJAM UPDATE
Thanks to everyone who participated in last week's RJAM conversation. During that meeting, we decided to offer the book, "So You want to Talk about Race?" by Ijeoma Oluo as the subject of a book club. Liz and Connie ordered copies of the book, so if you still want one, please contact one of them to see if there are any still available. We are planning to reconvene on Dec. 2 at 7pm to begin the discussion of the book, asking people to read the Introduction and Chapter 1 by that time. Only half of the meeting will be dedicated to the book club discussion, and all are invited to participate even if you are not reading the book. Bring your learnings and unlearnings to the meeting, and let's share it all together!
In what you have read these past two weeks regarding racial (in)justice:
How and when have I experienced this in the past?
Do I understand the systemic reasons for this?
How have I benefited from the racial injustice that is described?
How has this affected me personally?
What do I think I can change in my behaviors or actions to address this?
This Wednesday night there will be no check-in meeting, as we are invited to participate in the Vespers service.
Thank you, Leslie Snow
