Weekly Reminders

In 1959 Bill Gaither graduated from Anderson College, Indiana, with a bachelor's degree in English and a minor in Music. He went to work as an English teacher, pursuing music on the side. In 1963 he was asked to play the piano for a revival meeting in the area that featured the preaching of Dr. Dale Oldham. The meeting went well and afterwards Dr. Oldham asked Bill to write a song that included the words, “He touched me.” Gaither, who would later say that “songs are like whispered answers to questions of the heart”, took the words from Oldham as the theme of his first hit song, “He Touched Me.” This song would later be recorded by the Imperials, Elvis Presley, Tennessee Ernie Ford, and, more recently, Steven Curtis Chapman. Bill Gaither might have been writing about the woman that Jesus made whole in Luke 13:10-17.

We are looking at the Luke passage this week and the spiritual wholeness that Jesus wants to bring to us all.

Blessings,
Pastor John

Prayer Team
Would You Like to Be Prayed For? On the first Sunday of each month, the Prayer Team will be meeting in the chapel at 10:15a.m. We will be praying for those on the prayer list, and for any individuals who would like to receive prayer.

Come back tonight at 6 p.m. for a simple evening service in the Chapel. Along with singing and praying, we are enjoying the Faith Lessons video series, which offers lessons on how the actual geography of the Holy Land adds to the meaning of a passage.

Coffee Time
Join us as we continue providing coffee, donut holes, and a non-sugary breakfast option each Sunday from 10:45–11:00 a.m. before the Traditional service. Stop by the Overflow Room to enjoy a treat and some fellowship!

Home Health Equipment
At EFMC, our Home Health Ministry provides vital equipment - such as walkers, wheelchairs, and shower/potty chairs - to those in need within our community.
Right now, wheelchairs are our greatest need, and we currently do not have any available. If you or someone you know has a wheelchair that is in good condition and no longer being used, please consider donating it to the church. Your generosity allows us to continue serving and supporting others in our community.
