Consecration “Giving” Sunday at Both Services This Sunday: “Plenty Good Room”.

Today is Consecration Giving Sunday. During the offertory time, all Giving cards will be placed on the Altar to be blessed. This simple act and blessing of our Giving symbolizes the intentional offering of our financial treasure to God, recognizing all that we have been given is God's gift to us. Thank you for supporting our ministry and mission at ECA. There is ‘Plenty Good Room’ for us all to be the hands and feet of Christ…. It’s what we do!

Vestry Investor Spotlight This Week: Holy Haulers

The Holy Haulers ministry is a wonderful example of how we care for one another at ECA. Through this ministry, George MacDonald, Ron Allen, and Janet Livingston help parishioners get to church and personal appointments when they are unable to drive themselves. This simple but meaningful act of service helps ensure that transportation challenges don’t keep anyone from worship, fellowship, or the appointments they need. Their generosity, compassion, and willingness to give their time make a real difference in the lives of our parishioners. We are grateful for our Holy Haulers and the important role they play in helping ECA live out its mission to bear witness to God’s love through acts of service and care for one another. Thankyou Holy Haulers for your investment at ECA

Children/Youth Christian Formation Meeting This Sunday at 9:40 AM: November Theme JOY

Our November fruit of the spirit is Joy. Happiness and joy are similar but biblical joy is a deeper God-given gladness that doesn't dissolve when circumstances get hard. His is in control and we can experience true joy through Him. We are learning to align our priorities with God's heart:

    J= Jesus first

    O= Others second

    Y= Yourself last 

Begin each day by choosing joy! The Children/Youth CF meets on the first and third Sunday of each month. Bring a friend!  Adult CF also meets every Sunday at 9:30. All are welcome!
