ECC Cares: Gift Gathering for Local Families

A mom who lost both husband and son in the past year, two moms who are dealing with cancer, one mom living in a shelter who is trying to emerge out of a painful past – these are just a few of the people to whom we will be showing the love of Christ through the ECC Cares Project. Our church family is gathering gifts for these local families to remind them that God loves them, that He sees them and that He is ready to help.

Gifts for family # 6 are due this Sunday and gifts for all the other families are due Wednesday, December 16. For specific gift ideas or clothing sizes, go to our website under “SERVE” – the list is there or you can click on signupgenius button and sign up for a specific gift.

Yesterday I (Pastor Josh) sent out a LifeShare update about the ECC Students’ Fall Retreat which took place last weekend. The briefness of the LifeShare was to be coupled with a video that was visible on the actual lifeshare.live page, but not visible on the email that was sent to our subscribers.
