First Men's Event for 2025
It's time to start thinking about who you can invite to our first Men’s Event for 2025 - Old Cars, Live Music and Food, on March 1 at 5:30pm. This is a great opportunity to invite a non-church friend (or 2) to a low key, friendly gathering of blokes. Use it to increase your friendship and introduce them to the wider EPC community.
Food is organised and musicians have been booked (the event is non-alcoholic due to rules governing the property). Time to start talking to your connections about who has an old car (e.g. 80's and beyond). Those who bring a car come for free!
Please RSVP by February 26, cost to attend is $25. Email administration@elthampc.org for further information.
Hope to see you there!

Talking about Jesus

Hi EPC Ladies,
Do you want to share your faith but you’re not sure how to start?

Women's Ministries Victoria is holding a 4-week online Mini-Series during March to help you build the mindset and relationships to share Jesus without it being awkward.
The first part of the mini-series is in two weeks so make sure to sign up soon if you're interested.
