If you haven’t heard Pat play and sing before you are really missing out. When Epworth residents hear Pat, they always want to hear more. So back by popular demand, here she is!! Pat invites everyone who attends the program to clap, dance and sing along as they enjoy the music she enjoys playing and singing in her own unique style. You had better plan to arrive early as seating will go fast! http://www.epworthvilla.org/events/ Click link for past issues of Epworth Villa Happenings

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD BRILL CHAPEL 9:30 AM Genesis 2:8-24, Genesis 4:1, 2 FROM MATRIMONY TO MULTIPLICATION Few occasions in life bring as much joy and hope as a wedding. Though unmarried himself, writer Doug Redford has officiated five weddings. With a close-up view, the sense of wonder, love, and anticipation is palpable. In these extraordinary moments, bride and groom become a new family; and in most weddings the potential for children to expand the family only enhances the excitement.

God commanded humankind to “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth” (Genesis 1:28), and by all indications people have accepted the challenge. After topping 1 billion sometime in the early 1800's, the human population has risen seven times that amount in the ensuing 200 years. According to the 2015 United Nations' official projections, the world population will grow to 8.5 billion in 2030 and 9.7 billion in 2050.

If he had so chosen, God could have created billions of people to fill the earth from the start. But his mode of operation is to use human beings to partner in his plans. So in remote antiquity, God created a man and a woman. The result was a family to get those plans going. This week's lesson continues our study of God's creative work in the early chapters of Genesis, Jim West will lead this interesting lesson. Come early to hear our own Fretta Moore bless us with her piano mastery of the hymns at 9:15am.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH 1:00 PM ART CORNER

HOLIDAY GIFT CAMPAIGN IS UNDERWAY The mount of money on hand at this time is nearly $20,000, leaving $55,000 to be contributed by November 30th. As important as our $75,000 goal is, the goal of 100% participation

by Independent Living residents is just as important. At this point we are at 35%, but we believe the letter that everyone received along with a convenient return envelope will help this percentage to rise quickly.

Letters have also been distributed to residents in Assisted Living as well as the Long-Term Care Households. Posters indicating the status of the campaign will go up soon along with photos of our staff. Notices will be on EVTV and new residents will be contacted.

In other words, the committee is actively at work to see that our Epworth Villa employees will have a Holiday Gift that reflects the sincere appreciation we all have for them.

Please give generously. Donations may be placed in the Lambert’s box #326. Thank you.

Jimette McLean, Holiday Gift Adhoc Committee.

Sunday, SEPTEMBER 30th at 4:30 pm in the Brill Chapel. Everyone welcome!!

YAPPY HOUR A SUCCESS!!

The marketing Team would like to thank our Residents that came out to Yappy Hour and especially those who brought guests! The weather cooperated and it was a beautiful night. AND there was no growling or barking!! All of the dogs got along great It was amazing!

The purpose of Yappy Hour is twofold. First, it gives our Residents an opportunity to socialize regardless if you have a dog or not. It also gives our Residents’ pets an opportunity to play freely off of a leash. Secondly, there are many potential residents out there that will not move unless they can bring their pet. By marketing to those folks, we are letting them know that Epworth Villa is pet friendly.

Won’t you join us and invite a friend to the next Yappy Hour? It will be held October 30th with a “Pet Costume Contest.” It promises to be a fun time!

SATURDAY MATINEE MOVIE (Shown in the 2nd Floor Theater) SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND MATINEE @ 2:00 PM 2018

FINDING YOUR FEET When “Lady” Sandra Abbot discovers that her husband of forty years is having an affair with her best friend, she seeks refuge in London with her estranged, older sister, Bit. The two could not be more different-Sandra is a fish out of water next to her outspoken, serial dating, free spirited sibling. But different is just what Sandra needs at the moment, and she reluctantly lets Bit drag her along to a community dance class, where she starts finding her feet. This is a wonderful, feel good movie.

THE QUIET MAN After accidentally killing an opponent in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton (John Wayne) leaves America and returns to his native Ireland, hoping to buy his family's homestead and live in peace. In doing so, he runs afoul of Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen), who has long coveted the property. Spitefully, Will objects when his fiery sister, Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara), begins a romance with Sean, and refuses to hand over her dowry.

Mary Kate refuses to consummate the marriage until Sean retrieves the money.
