Stewardship Season is Here!

This letter will ask how you can prayerfully give of your time, talent and treasure to walk with ECA as we follow Jesus in the ministry of serving others. In the coming weeks, you will hear the stories and testimonies of others who have been touched by the generosity of ECA, as they "Tell out my soul" the faithfulness of the Lord. Thank you for supporting the ministry of ECA in the coming year.
