Many of you have asked how you can help the Stinchcomb family while Lindsay is hospitalized for the remainder of her pregnancy due to complications. In addition to your prayers, ECA has set up a Meal Train to provide meals on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays to help James care for the 5 little ones at home. You can log on at https://mealtrain.com/046z14 to schedule delivery of a meal or call Brenda Pinkston at 770.977.7664 or Megan Miller at 770.516.7224 to get on the schedule. Our love and prayers go out to the Stinchcomb family as they await the birth of their baby girl!

GREAT NEWS: Online Service and Outside Service Offered on Sept. 27^th

As we transition through these difficult and uncertain times with COVID-19, ECA is adapting services with your health and well-being as a priority. On Sunday Sept. 27^th at 10:30AM we will offer one outside service for 50 people in the field by the playground (reservations required). We will continue to stream online Sunday services via Facebook; at 9:00AM with Morning prayer, additionally, we will meet outside (weather permitting) on Sunday Sept. 27^th 10:30AM for Morning prayer. Please note: we must follow strict physical distancing guidelines and attendance limits in accordance with the Diocese of Atlanta, CDC & Health Dept. Stay tuned for more details. Please email ecaparish@gmail.com to sign up to attend the service.

While we are still not allowed to meet in our worship space, we continue to stream a Sunday service to our parish and cyber community. If you are interested with helping during the service, please contact Fr. Paul at pcm09@bellsouth.net. There are several minor tasks we need help with in order to make sure we are able to live stream and record for parish members. I look forward to hearing from those who may be interested.
