EBC Family,

EBC Family,

I hope you heard the report from our Mission Team to Canada on Sunday as well as Emma sharing about her upcoming trip to Thailand. If not, go back and watch it on our Facebook page or YouTube channel. Global missions is part of our call and responsibility from Jesus in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). From 2020-2022, COVID restrictions shut down a couple of different mission trips we planned. But with restrictions being lifted, I expect that we will re-engage as a church in various mission trip opportunities every year. Thank you also for supporting the missions lunch for the Thailand trip - $1445 was raised for the trip!

Pick up a game card at the back of the Worship Center for our church-wide summer fellowship promotion. Jesus calls us to Grow Together with other believers in our faith. In order to do that, you must build relationships with other church members outside of regularly scheduled church meetings. The purpose of the game card is to give you ideas for different ways to spend time with various members of our church. Focus especially on people you don’t already know well. It’s as simple as inviting them to lunch after church. But of course, there’s more to spiritual growth than just hanging out. The game card has various challenges to help you have spiritual conversations with other members throughout the summer. I hope you’ll take advantage of this summer opportunity to Grow Together with your Church Family!
