O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Thank you for Serving ECA!


We Need YOU!

Vestry Investor Spotlight This Week: Henry Peterson: Our investor of the week at ECA is Henry Peterson. Henry is known for his warm, welcoming smile and the joy he brings to church each week. Henry has volunteered as an acolyte, he helps with the Triple F ministry, he has served at numerous Reach events, and he is active in our youth program. Whether he realizes it or not, his positive attitude brings a sense of belonging to the service he attends. Even when he is not at church, he often talks about his church friends and the church ladies, and he always looks forward to seeing them. Henry is a wonderful example of how we can invest in one another and we are grateful to recognize him as our investor of the week.
