Hideaway Trails for Hope

Volunteer Work Day August 23

Please reach out to Shelly Jordan, 937-533-2812, for more details.  

We would like to take a moment to thank those from ECC who donate to our program, whether it be financially, your time and /or your prayers. This program would not survive without your sacrifice.  God has already answered so many prayers. Sometimes I find myself worrying about certain things, forgetting to give my worries to him. He knows, and He solves even the little things I worry about. I feel like Jesus just sends me a little “wink” as if saying…. “Don’t forget to trust me, we’re in this together.” Shelly
