Bowery Women’s Dinner - June 1
Sign up to serve a meal at the Bowery Women's Center. On the first Saturday of each month, we are looking for one person to plan the meal (for 15-20 people), and a few others to join in preparing the food. You'll arrive around 3:30 to begin preparing, and dinner is served at 6pm. EPC reimburses the costs of the meal. Consider if you (and your HFG / friends) would come serve one month! Learn more about this opportunity.
Mercy Team Book Discussion - June 23
The Mercy Team is reading the book Invisible Child by Andrea Elliot. They will gather on Sunday, June 23rd after the Sunday service to interact about what they have read. If you would like to join the discussion, you can read the book on your own, and let Scott know so he can include you on the details of the meeting sstrickman@emmanuelnyc.org.
