EEFMC 40 Days of Prayer Campaign
December 1, 2024 – January 9, 2025
During our prayer campaign we are asking each church member to consider taking the followingactions in support of the Vision Team’s efforts to develop a vision plan for EFMC:
1.Each day at 3:22 pm, pray for God’s guidance for our church - that His will be done, all efforts reflect his love and grace, and all is pleasing to the Lord - 1 John 3:22.
2.Each Wednesday at 6:30 pm immediately following Wednesday night supper everyone will meet in the gathering room of the Great Hall to pray. (Starts December 4, 2024)
3.Each Sunday school class will include prayers for the team, church and staff to be provided wisdom and guidance.
4.Pray daily! Volunteers may sign up to email a prayer to office@eatontonfmc.org on specific days during the campaign. They can sign up for more than one day. Please, send an email to me at hfoskey@charter.net and to Martha Wood
at office@eatonton.org to volunteer for a specific day. The prayers will be emailed to the membership as received.
5.The EFMC Prayer Warriors Team will be utilized to pray. Others can join that team (see Gerrye Jenkins or text her at 706 319 9587).
6. Go to https://www.eatontonfmc.org/current-news to fill out a membership survey that is needed for vision development. The goal is to get 50% of membership to complete the survey.

VISION PLANNING SURVEY
As a part of preparing to develop our EFMC strategic plan we ask our members to complete a 15 minute survey. The goal of the survey is to better understand how God has been forming our congregation. That means there's no right or wrong answers! We would like at least 50% of our members to complete the survey! Pease make every effort to complete the survey asap.
The APEST SURVEY can be accessed by clicking on the button below. If you prefer a paper copy to fill our and download, please contact Hugh Foskey at hfoskey@charter.net.
If you feel uncomfortable providing your name on the survey, please put "Congregation Member" in that space.
We would like to have the surveys completed by Dec. 15, 2024. Please keep the Vision Team in your prayers. Thank you.
