Over the next several weeks Pastor Sonny will guide us through a virtual travelogue from India to Spain to visit the final resting places of the Apostles. We'll learn about their journeys and how they found their way to their final destinations.
If you plan to attend in person,
please be aware of these guidelines and expectations:
  • First and foremost, use your discretion to determine what is in your best interest
  • Sanctuary has been disinfected and cleaned
  • NC guidelines state that masks/face coverings are to be worn in public places
  • We are sensitive to those who are unable to wear a face covering due to medical reasons, but we encourage those who can to do so 
  • If you don’t have a mask or face covering, one will be provided
  • Use narthex entrances to access sanctuary; front door at overhang or rear door adjacent to playground
  • Please arrive early to allow for extra time to be screened
  • You will be asked screening questions prior to entering and have temperature taken
  • There is no childcare 
  • Seating will be staggered to comply with social distancing rules
  • Offering plates will be in narthex adjacent to front doors of sanctuary. Giving can also be done online at epworthnc.com
  • We strongly discourage use of public restrooms
  • We will continue live-streaming via our YouTube channel 
DUH!SCIPLES on Sunday will meet Aug 30 at 5pm on the back field. We'll kick off the weirdest year in DUH!SCIPLE history. We're stoked to welcome 6th graders to our ridiculously stunning group of youth. We'll meet for about an hour ... sanitized & sanctified.

Don't forget your mask. Bring a chair, blanket or your swanky ENO (hammock) if you want. And bring your own snack too!

Oh yes, I’ll dance to God’s glory — more recklessly even than this.
And as far as I’m concerned . . . I’ll gladly look like a fool.
- 2 Samuel 6:22 (Message)

We want to express our ongoing appreciation and thanks to all who pray faithfully over these needs each week. It’s obvious our prayers are working when we are able to remove individual names from the list when their health situation has improved. We also would like to request of our Epworth faithful members, when you add a name to our list, please be certain to update Sis Mills when they are better so that we can continue to maintain our list with current prayer needs. Thank you everyone for your contributions to the success of our prayer ministry.

The CCM Food Program is getting really low on a lot of our staples. And we’re really going to miss the annual Cabarrus County Fair Food Drive, which was always a big help. We’re hoping our church and community partners can really step up and help us out.CCM's food pantry is experiencing l 
Our current big needs are:
  • Any kind of canned vegetables except peas
  • Any kind of canned beans
  • Peanut Butter and Jelly/Jam              
  • Soup
  • Rice
  • Spaghetti Noodles             
  • Pasta Sauce              
  • Toilet paper and paper towels
              
As always, we especially seek low sodium items, no-added-sugar items, and whole  grain items. And we are back to being in need of grocery bags.
