Consecration Pledge Sunday at both Services This Sunday: “Walk in Love”.

This Sunday is Consecration/Pledge Sunday. We are asking for ALL pledges to be received. You can call or email the office or Fr. Paul if you will not be at church on Sunday with your pledge. The timely receipt of pledges means we can plan the 2025 budget based on our revenues. During the offertory time, all pledge cards will be placed on the Altar to be blessed. This simple act and blessing of our pledges 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. Together we ‘Walk in Love’ to be the hands and feet of Christ. Click here to read more about our campaign this year: STEWARDSHIP 2025 LINK
