We have a great opportunity for our ECL kids! Mrs. Alicia and Mrs. Karis will be putting together a children's choir to lead a worship song during the advent season.
Rehearsals will be at 9:15 on Sunday mornings, beginning Nov. 12th, and any child grades 1st-5th is welcome to join. They will be learning one song and will be sharing it with our congregation on December 17th and December 24th.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Alicia or Karis.
We have some exciting news. After much prayer, thought, and many conversations, the elders would like to nominate three new candidates for eldership at Ecclesia Clear Lake: Kris Armstrong, Bri Perea, and Michael Rice.
On October 1st, we will have a quick election after church. All people who consider ECL home are encouraged to stay and participate. If the candidates are voted into eldership, we will commission them in the worship service on a future Sunday. If you have any questions, please contact one of the elders.
We're all getting in to our back to school rhythms and we are ready to celebrate together and we are hoping that this heat will break just a little bit for us! Join us for...
We will be providing Hot Dogs, please bring a side to share, picnic chairs and picnic blankets. If you have any yard games - please bring those also. We hope to see you!
We are thankful for our awesome building at 218 that we are blessed with. On Saturday, August 5th @ 8 am - 4 pm, we would like to work together to do some necessary care for our building. From cleaning, to lawn/parking lot care, and organization there will be enough jobs for everyone. Please let us know if you are able to make it!
Mark your calendars! On Sunday, August 13th, we will be worshipping together through serving in our community. We want to be good neighbors in our space at 218 and we are thrilled to share that we will be partnering with League City Elementary School to do some gardening in their school habitat to kick off the new school year.
We will gather at the church at our regular worship time of 10am. We hope to see you!
YouthConnect, KidConnect, KidConnect Jr, and Early Childhood classes will not be gathering this week.

Expenses | |||
Total 02000 Administration | $6,720.81 | $12,373.50 | -$5,652.69 |
Total 03000 Facilities | $15,866.02 | $13,431.65 | $2,434.37 |

UNCOMMITTED CASH AVAILABLE | $188,177.40 |
Summary: The chart above compares our actual income and expenses with our budgeted amounts. Our expenses continue to be lower than expected, and this is mainly because we are not paying a Lead Pastor salary at this time. As noted in the last update, in February our income was lower than expected. This has picked up, although we are still a bit behind what we had budgeted for halfway through the year. Our Facilities and Ministry actual amounts are over budget, primarily on account of necessary repairs and equipment replacement. We have $188,177.40 of uncommitted cash available, which continues to provide a financial cushion.
