In just a few short weeks we enter in to the season of Lent. While a season of reflecting on the heavy events that led to Jesus' death and resurrection, it is also a rich season of practicing being present and intentionally pressing in to the practices that draw us in to deeper communion with God and with each other. We feast, we fast, we pray, we meditate, and we celebrate. We hope you plan to join us for the special times of fellowship as we journey together this Lenten season.

Fat Tuesday Pancake Dinner, March 4th @ 5:30 pm. Join us for the last day before the lent season begins and eat some delicious pancakes. We are looking for a few people to help flip pancakes and a few to help clean up. If you are available, contact Karis or Drea.

Ash Wednesday Ashes, March 5th. - stop by between 6-7pm. We will not be having a service but if you would like to receive ashes, I (Ashley) will be at ECL offering the imposition of ashes and a short blessing for you or your family.

If you are not able to make it out on Wednesday but would like to participate, we have put together an at-home Ash Wednesday Guide with some reflections and prayers to read through and engage in for individuals and families with young ones.

Our Ecclesia Kids Leadership (EKL) Crew is a group of upper elementary students who gather together monthly to brainstorm and pray and provide leadership for our church community. What an awesome group they are! They have invited us in to a really special giving opportunity. Here is the message from them:

"Our partner church ICO is taking a trip to El Salvador to show love and support to the people living there. As a part of their mission, they are hoping to give everyone a Bible and a backpack with some hygiene items. And we want to help. Our goal is to pay for 30 Spanish children’s bibles and 30 backpacks with supplies. We need to raise $700 to complete our goal and we are asking for your partnership."

On top of this goal for bibles and backpacks we would also like two sponsor two missionaries from ICO to go on this mission trip to El Salvador in November, which would be a total of $2,400.

Altogether our goal is to raise $3,100 by the end of August!

We are so thankful for our partner church ICO and we are thankful for the blessing they will be to these children in El Salvador. We welcome donations of any amount. You can give in person on Sunday mornings for all of July and August or you can give online here.
