Easter Sunday Gathering: 
Believing in the Resurrection
Ekklesia will also have a special Worship Gathering at the Parkwood Club on Sunday morning. Everyone is encouraged to bring a breakfast dish to share. We will begin gathering at 10am and eat first. Then around 10:45am we will transition to a worship time. Invite your family and friends!

  Waite Family Blessing Last Sunday
What a blessing it was last Sunday to give a final so long to the Waite family as they began their return to Alabama after spending 7 months living and working with the Ekklesia mission church. There were a few tears shed and many wonderful personal thoughts shared as we gave the Waites a love circle. Scott and Brody led the Communion time as we broke bread together. 
 

Then at the end of our gathering we surrounded the Waite family for a final time of prayers and blessings on their family. We will truly miss their family and the spirit of service that they brought to our church.

Building Helpline Food Bank's New Garden
The Ekklesia church has been asked by the new garden director at the food bank to help install new planting beds. In a few weeks Ekklesia will schedule a workday and will send over a crew of workers to begin the work. We will need shovels, metal rakes and gloves. Several long rows of mounded dirt will be created in order for Jeanette to develop her new garden. All the food grown at the garden will supplement the dietary needs of the low income residents that visit the food bank every day.
