Good Friday & Easter Sunday

Apr 6, 2023

Good Friday

You are invited to join us this evening, April 7th, for a contemplative service of reading together and reflecting on the scriptures leading up to and the event of Jesus' death. In this life, we are no strangers to pain and suffering, and even death. Let us ask Jesus to be our teacher along the way. What areas of our lives at this time need to be transformed through the rhythm of death, burial and resurrection? Jesus knows our suffering, our grief, our pain and promises to walk through it with us - even leading the way.

Good Friday Service - Tonight, 6:00 PM at ECL

Easter Sunday

We look forward to celebrating the resurrection together on Easter Sunday, April 9th, through worship and community.

Community Worship @ 10 AM

(KidConnect, KidConnect Jr. and YouthConnect will not be gathering on this Sunday)

Egg Hunt

Directly following our worship time there will be an egg hunt for our kiddos 5th grade and under!

Experiencing New Life

Mar 24, 2023

One of the many ways we seek to worship the Triune God and to embody Love is to share in each other's everyday lives. We invite you, for this Easter Sunday, to consider capturing a short video of yourself or your family sharing where you may be experiencing or seeing resurrection life. Places that may have once been dead that are sprouting with new life. You can send your videos to any of our staff members or to ashley@ecclesiaclearlake.org.

New Staff Role at ECL

Mar 23, 2023

The elders are pleased to announce that Ashley Kinsel's role has expanded, and her title has been changed, from Director of Operations and Youth Ministry, to Deacon of Liturgy and Communion. While she will continue to maintain her prior responsibilities, she will also provide added direction and leadership by incorporating the lectionary and the church calendar into services, curating speakers, preaching, caring for the staff, and bringing church needs to the attention of the elders. This is an interim position that we believe will greatly support the church through the next several months as our new elders get established and we start the process of searching for a new lead pastor.
