EVERYONE is invited to join us this Sunday at "226 For Life" @ 9 am and stay for our Worship Service @ 10 am. | |
WHAT TO EXPECT @ THE "226 FOR LIFE" | |
This high energy, interactive program focuses on kids 4 years of age through 5th grade, teaching them how to follow Christ and build a personal, life-long relationship with Him! There are songs, dancing, activities, and fun every single week! CLICK HERE for a basic overview of what this time looks like. Nursery is available for children up to 3 years of age. ALL adults are invited to the "The Oasis" for a time of fellowship, light refreshments, and encouragement. "226 for Life" starts every Sunday @ 9 am with doors opening @ 8:50 am! | |
WHAT TO EXPECT @ THE WORSHIP SERVICE | |
|
WHERE DO I GO?
The service begins at 10:00 am in the Flynn Center. Don't worry if you are not sure where that is! You will likely be greeted by someone as you walk up, and they will be glad to help.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
What you wear isn’t important. People wear anything from jeans to suits, but mostly you will see people dressed in a relaxed, everyday style.
WHAT IF I CAN'T ATTEND?
We understand that you may not be able to attend this service for a variety of reasons. In light of this, we will record and make available portions of the worship service through email, Facebook, and the EBC website.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
Families and friends sit together at round tables. We think this provides a great relational environment that encourages worship.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Nursery is available for children up to 3 years of age. Children 4 years and older join us for worship. As pastor and author Robert Morgan wrote: “Families should worship together. Children best learn to worship by watching their parents and grandparents do it." Feel free to bring coloring books and other fun stuff that can be enjoyed as your child watches, listens, and learns. And don't forget to visit the Crafted Corner every week for new activities designed just for our kids! No matter how scary this may sound, please know we provide an environment where children are welcomed and wanted in worship with us.

ROCKY RAILWAY (VBS 2022)
JULY 18-22
ALL ABOARD!!! We cannot wait to host EBC's Vacation Bible School 2022 on July 18th-22nd from 6:00-8:30pm! All week long, we will be tracking the truth that Jesus' POWER pulls us through! Grab your overalls and bandana because we need YOUR help to keep this event on track! Here’s how your steam can help fuel this VBS train:
1) PRAY! As we have been learning over the last several weeks, evangelism is exclusively fueled by prayer! If we aren't praying, our work is simply smoke. Don’t know how to pray? Use our “Pray for VBS” handout as a guide (available at EBC)!
2) VOLUNTEER! We will have a series of work days and take home projects for individuals of ALL crafting skill levels! Please sign up for VBS week, show up for work days, and ask Abby Harrison how you can help!
|  | 3) DONATE! VBS is a large expense and there are many working gears. If you are able to purchase or collect any of the free items on the supply list, it will make a difference. Our Amazon list with specific items needed can be found by CLICKING HERE! | Thank you for being a part of this wonderful outreach! I am excited to see how God will continue to conduct Rocky Railway VBS for HIS glory! Remember: our success is measured only by our individual obedience to Him. | |
