Midweek Update (June 3)
Pastor Dan shares about our recent REGATHERING and our new Livestream ministry and ways for you to be involved.
ECC Livestream
This morning at 10AM we will be having our very first livestream service.
Click here to access our livestream.
(It will begin at 10AM)
How is this different than what we’ve been doing?
For the past several months, we have been recording our worship music and sermons and putting them online to be viewed. This Sunday, however, as we REGATHER we will also be showing our 10AM service live for anyone who wasn’t able to register or isn’t able to come.
What if I can’t attend either the REGATHERING or the 10AM Livestream?
As we venture into this new world of livestreaming, we are doing our best to provide each person with the multitude of resources we have at our fingertips. However, we are also trying to learn much of this new technology. Therefore, if you’re not able to attend, we hope to have a recorded version available to you within the week.

ECC REGATHERING – May 31
We are looking forward to the chance to gather back together with you again! From the response to registration, you are too! Due to the overwhelming response, we have added 50 more spots to the 11:30am service. You can register on our website. If you have any questions, please contact the office, 937-456-5507. Also, we ask for your patience. In these uncertain times, we need to be ready to make adjustments at a moments notice.

Sewers Needed
The Brethren Retirement Community (BRC) has an immediate need for PPE gowns. Sewers are needed to help meet this safety measure for staff and residents. BRC has purchased fabric, and Barb Brower is making kits for sewers to use. Each kit contains instructions, cut-out fabric, and binding for five gowns. If you aren’t able to sew at this time but I have sewing machine that could be borrowed, that would be very helpful also. Contact Barb by email at barbbrower51@yahoo.com. Your assistance in meeting this urgent need is greatly appreciated!
