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.
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.
The chart below compares ECL’s actual income and expenses with budgeted amounts for the year. At the end of April, our income fell short of budgeted projections by about 14%.
At the close of the first quarter, our income fell short of budgeted projections by about 7%; income is primarily comprised of tithes and offerings.
Total actual expenses were lower than budgeted amounts by about 1%. Administration category expenses were over budget, reflecting two large insurance dues paid on an annual basis. Total expenses exceeded total income by $1,456.91.
We are thankful for our awesome building at 218 that we are blessed with. Saturday April 13th from 8 am - 1 pm, we would like to work together to do some necessary care for our building. From cleaning, to lawn care, to organization there will be enough jobs for everyone and all ages. Please plan to join if you can for any amount of time you can!

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
