Dear Church Family,
At our January annual meeting we shared that we had a major budget shortfall in 2020 and that if 2021 continued in the same way, we would very likely need to make a staff reduction to prevent a continuing financial shortfall. Being wise stewards with our finances, and maintaining good financial planning frees us from focusing on money as we carry out our mission to Embody Love.
Join us for Easter, April 4th and Pentecost, May 23rd outdoors at the ECL Building. Please view below to register.
This Sunday we have a very special guest preacher named Pastor Francisco Calix. If you recall, this past fall we partnered with a church in Honduras to help them engage in hurricane relief after they were devastated by two hurricanes. Pastor Francisco pastors that church. He will be preaching in Spanish with English subtitles, provided by our mission partner and his daughter-in-law, Megan Turley.
Wednesday nights at 8pm on Zoom during Lent we will have a Lenten Prayer Chapel based upon practices learned from Dr. Barbara L. Peacock’s book Soul Care in African American Practice. We highly recommend buying and reading the book, but you do not have to read the book to participate. Register here to receive the zoom code.
We look forward to celebrating the resurrection together on Easter Sunday. We will gather outdoors at the ECL Building. Please register all who will attend so that we can plan accordingly.
Next week we will transition into the season of Lent. Lent
is a season of forty days, not counting Sundays, which begins on Ash
Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. Lent is a time of repentance,
fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of
self-examination and reflection.
In just a few 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...
Dear Church Family,
