EBPC Kids Ministry

During chapel today, Ms. Lindsey and the EBCA preschoolers decided it was pretty amazing that God made all of our differences right down to our fingerprints and loves us exactly the way we are! Each class decorated a cross with our fingerprints. What beauty is created by all our amazing differences when we work together!

What fantastic difference makes you special in the eyes of God?

Need a reminder of where to go to find God's light in the world? Check out this week's Faith Sharing Moment with Lindsey Hinds-Brown! How are you and your family sharing God's light and love with the world?

Unloading 230 backpacks full of school supplies in the 95 degree lunchtime heat is truly a labor of love! Can't imagine anyone I'd rather do this with than the folks at Glenview Elementary! Thank you Katherine Booker and your team for letting us help get the kids at Glenview ready for a great year!

Join EBPC on the Farm this Saturday to Glean for Matthew 25

Join us on Saturday, June 26 from 8:30-10 am in Spring Hill as we partner with the Society of St. Andrew to glean kale and chard from a local farm. We have space for up to 20 volunteers to harvest excess produce to donate to our partners at Matthew 25. The recipients of the Matthew 25 food pantry are in dire need of fresh produce, and this mission opportunity allows us to turn our faith into action and provide food to God's children in need!

Please wear clothes and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. If it has rained recently, you can expect it to be quite muddy! All ages are welcome!

To participate, all volunteers must create a volunteer profile with the Society of St. Andrew and sign the volunteer waiver. Sign up today at https://endhunger.org/tennessee to secure your spot. Enter your name and information, then use the password "eastbrentwood" to locate our event. The location will be emailed to all who sign up!

This past Saturday the sun was out and the water balloon were flying as we celebrated our 2nd Summer Shenanigan of 2021!

Join us on Saturday, June 26 for our next Summer Shenaniga when we will be joining forces with the Society of St. Andrew to glean from a local farm and donate the produce to hunger relief agencies in Middle Tennessee!

Join us for our 2nd Summer Shenanigan tomorrow, June 12 at EBPC from 10 am - noon. We have an old-school field day planned complete with water balloon toss, three-legged race, and egg and spoon races! Join us for an opening prayer and bible story about the importance of welcoming everyone! Then let the shenanigans begin!!!!
