All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small...

EPC kids summer creation club
Join us for our Summer Creation Club! We'll have fun exploring together and learning more about God through His amazing creation!
These activities are intended for both children and parents - supervision is not provided, so parents will need to stay with their kids. Activities are designed for elementary age, but all ages are welcome! Some of our outings require a sign-up so we can secure tickets - see below for details.
Reach out to laura@epointchurch.org if you have any questions!
grown-ups BOOK CLUB
As part of our summer activities this year, we're offering a book club for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, and anyone interested in helping children grow in the care of the Lord.
-
We'll be reading The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt. Haidt is a social psychologist who has studied the sudden rise in anxiety and depression in adolescents in western cultures. He looks at the data, considers trends, investigates causes, and offers solutions. It is a #1 New York Times Bestseller, and it has become a highly recommended book in both secular and Christian circles for the truths it taps into.
This book considers issues that are really important for those raising, teaching, and caring for children today, and is a worthy read for the information it presents. However, it does not consider things from a Biblical worldview, so as we take in all the helpful information, we aim to fill in really important gaps in our study together!
You can learn more about the book HERE.
And check out reviews from Christian perspectives...

Pick up the book or audio book at Amazon or your library or other favorite source, and let us know if you'll be reading along with us! We'll connect via email as well, in case you're not able to be at the discussion 7/30.
Read or listen to the book throughout July, then join us to discuss the book - the good, the bad, the helpful, the scary, the hopeful - and some supplemental Christian insight together on Wednesday, July 30 at 6pm.
Sign up to receive emails and let us know you're participating!
