Week of February 19, 2017
REACH Out!
On February 19th at 12:00 PM, come celebrate the completion of our initial project from the Be BOLD and REACH campaigns. Our congregation continues to be faithful to the vision of REACHing our community and glorifying God through renovating our facility and our ministry. Let's celebrate this important milestone together! The Newly refurbished Lighthouse Academy classroom will be open for first looks, and staff will be on hand to talk about next steps. Refreshments will be provided. Come and bring a friend! 

Catacombs Club
On the second and fourth Sundays of March and April, our older elementary children (3rd-5th graders) will gather with the youth for lunch, then experience a secret club based on the realities of early Christians. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Dena Kitchens, Director of Children's Ministries, at dena@eastcobbumc.org . Be a part of this                                                                    fun and unique opportunity!
Boy Scout Troop 435
For many years, ECUMC has sponsored Boy Scout Troop 435. Troop 435 currently has boy scouts preparing for their Eagle rank and is seeking possible Eagle projects to help these individuals complete their advancements. Eagle Scout projects involve some type of construction, must benefit an organization (not an individual), and must support a non-profit. Eagle Scout projects are evaluated on the benefit to the organization being served and on the leadership provided by the candidate. There must also be evidence of organized planning and development. If you have a project that you think a preparatory Eagle Scout could assist you with, please contact Mindy Garthe at mgarthe@odysseylogistics.com.

Lent Begins on Ash Wednesday, March 1st
Lent is a period of fasting and reflection when Christians prepare for the events of Holy Week and Easter and meditate on the ways that we can grow closer to God. Join ECUMC as we begin our Lenten journey with Ash Wednesday worship at 6:30 PM on March 1.
