Celebrating The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Our production of LWW was a great success as we shared a wonderful  story to the community and witnessed many in our congregation use their gifts and talents to glorify the Lord. In addition, over 870 people came to watch the performance.  We will be donating $1,600 to Birthright of Eaton and $1,600 to the Homeless Shelter of Preble County as a result of the performances. Praise God for this opportunity to engage our community and make an impact.

Dedicating your child to God is a profound commitment that can be life-changing. If you are interested in learning more about how we walk families through this process, contact Miss Coleen, 456-5507 or misscoleen@eatoncommunitychurch.org.
