Mr. Paul

Our Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt is fast approaching and all through the month of March we will be collecting Easter Eggs that are Prefilled (preferred) and empty

with bags of individually wrapped candy. Look for the drop-

off locations located in both buildings starting this month. We have been averaging over 300 kids and adults each year and

we are praying for even more this year!

Wed. March 15th @ 6:00pm — We will be going to CiCi’s Pizza & Urban Air in Waxahachie.

This event is open for all ages! If your child is in 3rd, 4th or 5th grades, they are eligible to ride the church bus which leaves the church at 5:45pm and arrives back at church @

around 8:30pm. Kids 2nd grade and younger can ride the bus if space permits but must have a parent accompany them to both locations. Right now the price is $20 per child which includes CiCi’s and Urban Air but we are trying to get that price down by working with Urban Air. Contact Mr. Paul for more details.

EBC Women’s Ministry: Bible Journaling

Workshop What is Bible Journaling you ask? It is an exciting and

imaginative way to engage with Scripture – a fresh approach

to Bible study and meditation on God’s Word. Bible

journaling is all about reading and studying the Word, and letting it lead you to be creative in the ways

you memorize and record Scripture. The goal of Bible journaling is to experience God’s Word in a new

way as you spend more time with Him.

Come join us as we work with Liz Steckel to learn how to grow closer to the Lord by interacting with

scripture in this exciting way.

Where: EBC Family Activity Center

When: Monday, April 10, 2017

Time: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Cost: $12.00

More information is on the way, and we will begin taking reservations for the event during the month of

March. We are looking forward to another exciting evening of women fellowshipping and growing together!
