EBC Family,
Thank you to our deacons for preparing and serving our Silent Lord’s Supper last night. It was a meaningful time of worship for me and my family - I hope it was for you as well. As we celebrate Christmas, our church staff will be spending time with their families. Check the newsletter below to see the abbreviated office hours for the final week of December.
In the new year, we will start a new sermon series through the book of 2 Corinthians. For the first time, we will have Scripture Notebooks available for purchase. There are a few benefits to using a Scripture Notebook as we walk through this New Testament Letter together. First, some people are hesitant to write in or mark-up their Bibles. A Scripture Notebook frees you to highlight, underline, or circle the text without marking in your Bible. Second, it has a place for you to write notes, add cross references, add definitions, add background information right there alongside the verses we study each week. Third, for those who don’t have a CSB, it allows you to use the same translation as us without needing to purchase a whole Bible. Finally, I will show you week by week how to turn your Scripture Notebook into a long-term resource for your theological library. These Scripture Notebooks will be available starting this Sunday for $5 each. If you need to buy more than one for your family, each additional notebook can be purchased for $3. Put your money in an envelope or use the EBC App.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
