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.

You are invited to join us on Good Friday to read together and reflect on the scriptures leading up to and ending in Jesus' death. In this life, we are no strangers to pain and suffering, and even death. Jesus knows our suffering, our grief, our pain and promises to walk through it with us - let us ask Jesus to guide us and even lead the way.
Good Friday Service, March 29th - 6:00 PM at ECL

Lent is a season of coming to terms with our own mortality. In Advent we celebrate “God with us” and in Lent we journey through all that choosing humanity costs. Jesus invites us to walk a different way. Jesus invites us to be image bearers, not image makers.
This season of Lent, Karis shared a wonderful talk and invited us to a new practice. To take 1 minute a day and just look at your reflection. A holy pause to notice the Light in you, reflecting to a weary world. A holy pause to honor that you are an image bearer. A holy pause to delight in your own image of God in You. Look in the mirror, really look, until you can see the image of God in every wrinkle. The goodness of God fill your eyes. The love of God overwhelm your mouth as your lips turn upward. The holy reflection of God shining in all that you are, all that you carry, all that you reflect. You are light bouncing off the mirror to reveal the Light of the world.
We also invite you to individually or as a family to donate a mirror to the church. On the back we ask that you write...
"I/We reflect God's _________" (You fill in the blank)
We ask for the mirrors to be brought to church by Palm Sunday, March 24th. We will fill the stage with mirrors for Easter Sunday.
