Calling all Caregivers, Friends, and Family Members of those with a Terminal or Chronic Illness: ECA is forming a Caregiver's Support Group on ZOOM The journey for our caregivers as well as family members of those affected by terminal and/or chronic illnesses is extremely hard. It is so important to connect with others and exchange ideas and share support. Also, there are so many resources and coping strategies to learn to maximize living every day. My name is Robin Racoff and I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and trained at the Rosalynn Carter Institute to help caregivers, as well as having been a caregiver and working professionally with ALS, Muscular Dystrophy, Crohns and Colitis, and dementia caregivers and patients. The focus of our group will be on the caregiver, so no patients please.

Please contact me at robinracoff@gmail.com if you are interested and let me know what time and day would work best for you. I am thinking of the 1^st Tuesday of each month at 7:30 PM; Or the 1^st Saturday at 10 AM. During the Zoom Session you may participate with or without video, audio, or just observe. Or simply phone in! It will not be recorded and confidentiality will be the standard. Also, if you have any concerns or questions regarding ZOOM, please contact me directly at (404) 290-1550. It is super easy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you to all who gave to the Church of Common Ground and Pappa's Pantry over the last few weeks. Also, a big thank you to volunteers who went and served by helping distribute food, and pass out gift cards. Pictured here is Janet Livingston, Wanda Ziembinski, and Richard Arnotti (not pictured) who helped distribute food last week. Thanks to you, ECA is able to bless many in our community!

Reach Collecting Food items for Local Food Pantries We Support We may not be gathering for in-person worship due to diocesan restrictions, but the need for food items at our local food pantries continues. ECA is supporting local charities such as Never Alone and Papa’s Pantry in their food ministries. You are welcome to come by on Sundays to drop off these much-needed items, or drive-by the office during the week. Thank you for your continued generosity and support of helping those in need!
