ECA Men’s Fishing Trip Sept 29^th – Oct 3^th

It’s almost that time of year again when the Men of ECA and guests plan to head down to Shell Island Fish Camp for a weekend of fellowship, fishing, food & Fun! You can go down on Weds, Thu, or Fri, and you don’t have to fish. We are aware of the current COVID-19 issues and understand those who choose not to go; but what better way to get away from it all than going fishing with Jesus and friends. Click Here for more details!
