EPC Covid-19 Update
 
Eastminster has suspended in-person worship services until Greenville County has a 14 day plateau or decline in positive COVID-19 cases. Once this phase is achieved, the Session will reconvene with the Regathering Team to determine a path forward.
 

Our Session met this week and made the difficult decision to continue this in=person suspension through August.  However, Session has approved moving forward with our staged reopening.  In that meeting, Session approved the following: 

Stage One: Groups of 25 or less may meet outdoors with safety measures

Stage Two: Groups of 15 or less may meet indoors with safety measures

We will will continue to provide virtual worship, pastoral care, opportunities for connection, and age-appropriate Faith Formation on  and    Please note the worship schedule shown below.

Stewardship and Finance
 
During these challenging times when our patterns of giving to the church are interrupted, some may be concerned about the financial needs of the church.  We have added a new way for you to continue your regular giving by using our Online Giving Form.
 
You can also continue to donate by sending a check to Eastminster Presbyterian Church office at 2240 Woodruff Road, Simpsonville, SC 29681 or by using the auto-pay (Bill Pay) of your checking account to mail a check either each week or set up on a recurring basis.  You can also give using your mobile device by texting  “Eastminster” to 73256.  Standard text message rates do apply.
