Letter
To Epsom Republican Voters,
My heartfelt thanks go out to the 204 of you who
voted for me to represent you at the State
Republican Party Convention, which will be held in
Derry this year on Sunday, September 28th. Even
though it was a low turnout and I ran unopposed, I
still appreciate your support, and I will strive to
keep the principles of fiscal responsibility and
family values alive and well in our party platform
when I vote on upcoming important bylaws.
I would also like to encourage even more of you,
Republicans as well as Democrats and Independents,
to vote this coming November 4th for fiscal
responsibility and family values among candidates
for state and federal offices. Thank you again.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom Langlais, Epsom
Epsom Bible Church AWANA Clubs
Awana Clubs at Epsom Bible Church will begin our
20008-09 season on Thursday night September 25th.
This will be our 22nd year of having Awana Clubs and
we are thankful for the things God has accomplished
through this program in previous years.
For those of you who may not be familiar, Epsom
Bible Awana Clubs are a branch of Awana
International which started in the early 1950’s in a
Chicago church and has grown into a worldwide
program teaching boys and girls the Word of God in
unique ways. Awana Clubs offered at Epsom Bible
include Cubbies for girls and boys ages 3 and 4,
Sparks for girls and boys in school grades K-2, as
well as Truth and Training for girls and boys in
grades 3 through 6.
Each Awana night consists of a game time, handbook
time, and council time. Once or twice a month we
plan a special theme night. We try to make our clubs
as fun and exciting as possible. During Council time
one of our leaders or a special guest speaker
presents a message from the Bible, and awards are
presented to those clubbers who have earned them for
completing handbook work. If your children, or you,
attended Awana in the past, you will find that most
all of the handbooks have been recently updated.
Our Clubs are open to all children in the Epsom
area, and we would love to have your children
attend. You do not need to be a member of, or
attend, Epsom Bible Church, for your children to
attend. Come to Club on the 25th or any Thursday
evening thereafter between 6:15 and 6:30 PM. Club
starts at 6:30 and we end the evening at 8:00. Epsom
Bible Church is at 398 Black Hall Road,
approximately 3/4 mile past the Epsom Central School
on the same side of the road ( look for the big sign
out front ). If you have any questions or would like
more information, please call Kim or Paul Sanborn at
798-5050 or email at:

identities they’ve stolen to secure loans, bank
accounts, driver’s licenses, and much more. Cathy is
one of the first individuals in this area to receive
this special certification, qualifying her to
counsel individuals about identity theft.
