Update: Letter from the Higgins Family
To our Parish family,
We wanted to update the parish and thank you all for the outpouring of care and love you have extended to us the last few weeks. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate your prayers and kind words in all the cards and notes you have sent. It has been a very tough road we have traveled indeed and we have lot of emotions we are trying to juggle. While we want to share this news with you, we are hesitant because we continue to ask for privacy and space to adjust to the upcoming treatment Carolyn will need to go through in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Please do not call, email, or text, as we are unable to respond at this time and we don’t want to offend or upset anyone.
Three weeks ago, Carolyn was experiencing pain in her abdomen area and was having a very difficult time. She was taken to the emergency room and admitted to the hospital as we sought answers for her pain. After several examinations and tests, the doctors discovered... click here to continue reading

Samantha Well Ministry Update
Samantha, an ECA member, is about to embark on a mission trip to Greece. She spoke a few months ago at a Faith, Food & Fellowship event. Here is an update and prayer request from her: "... because [I need] a student visa, I have to include my Dad's financial information and say that he's covering my expenses while I'm in Greece. I can't mention that I'm working or that I have a salary from One Collective. The thing is... they didn't seem to think my Dad makes enough to support me (even though you just have to show that you have at least 500 euros available a month). I also have to increase the amount of Greek medical insurance I have. So I'll be sending them the update insurance forms once I have them, and more of my Dad's financial information... and just pray that they see what they need to see and let me have a visa!" to read more click here
