Giving Tuesday Approaches
#GivingTuesday is a global giving day celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving (November 29) and fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. This #GivingTuesday, we encourage you to consider going online or writing a check to give to the Glory of God to build a new building at ECUMC. Even if you've already pledged another year to REACH, we hope you will consider making a special, one-time gift in this Season of Giving. It's easy to give:
Log onto The City, click on "Giving," and select "Giving Tuesday" as your fund.
Turn a check into the collection plate on Nov. 27.
Mail checks labeled "Giving Tuesday" to the church office.

Organ Dedication Concert

Join us for a dedicatory concert for ECUMC's new Rodgers Organ, highlighting the diversity of musical enhancements to our sanctuary and featuring Associate Director of Music/Organist, Ira Pittman and Larry Davis, President of the Atlanta chapter of the American Theatre Organists Guild and vocal/ instrumental soloists.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Sunday, December 11| 5:00 PM
Children's Music and Worship Arts is excited to present "A Charlie Brown Christmas!" This time-honored Christmas tradition will be presented by some of ECUMC's most talented youth on December 11. The play was chosen for its wide appeal and Biblical message of hope from the book of Luke. While many people can relate to Charlie Brown's holiday blues, we know this uplifting and adorable adaptation will have the audience singing in their seats. We hope you will join us and bring a friend!
