ECLC kids bearing witness to God's YES for the world! Just shy of our $250 goal to furnish a child's bedroom through Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, ECLC kids have given an offering of $228.31. We have 3 weeks to collect the remaining $21.69. Let's do this! Visit lirs.org to learn more.
Look for posters inviting you to ECLC's first ever Empty Bowl Full Hearts event on Sunday, May 17. Save the Date! Confirmation youth in grades 6-8 will be serving soup & bread, following the 11 am worship service. A silent auction, selling the glazed clay bowls made at their lock-in (bids accepted between 8 am-1pm), will raise money to be given to a local food shelf like Community Emergency Service.
