A Message From Pastor Wright
Pray For America
At ERCC we love this great nation, and we are proud to be Americans.
|
We are also painfully aware that much of America is in moral and spiritual decline. What kind of nation will we leave to our children and grandchildren? America is falling away from God and America needs repentance.
Jesus said that "You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13). Salt in the ancient world was used for preservation. Meat will rot, spoil, and become foul if it is not preserved properly. God uses us, His children, to preserve our society morally and spiritually. It is highly likely that if it weren’t for the presence and influence of His church the USA would have already reached the point of no return in its downward spiral of moral degeneration and debauchery. We are here for a purpose.
Jesus said “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). We are here to shine Christ’s light into a world of darkness.
Let’s pray for America.
America needs God.
America needs repentance.
America needs strong, faithful churches.
American needs the light of the gospel.
America needs to turn back to God.
- Pastor Mark Wright

Sunday Evening Series
The Foundations of Freedom
In this video series, David Barton will astound you with his knowledge of American history and the Bible. This series exposes how radical revisionist “history” is false, and how America was in fact founded as a Christian country.
Foundations of Freedom is a DVD series and is the winner of “Best Video Curriculum” at the 2015 International Christian Vision Media Awards. It is also “Family Approved” by Dove.
|
|
America stands at the crossroads of human history. Once revered and respected throughout the world, the country’s influence and freedoms are in jeopardy. Join David Barton with special guests as they explore the America our Founding Fathers envisioned. From the formation of American law and the judicial system to biblically-based economics, science, government, and more, you will discover how our Founding Fathers used the Bible as a blueprint for America’s freedoms. Consequently, you will build your faith in our nation’s future with Foundations of Freedom. If ever there was a need to rediscover the vision, passion, and wisdom of those who laid the foundations of our nation, it is now! |

A shout-out to Rose Kline as our volunteer of the month. It is difficult to mention everything that Rose does to serve the Lord at ERCC, because she does so much. One of her main volunteer roles is that of church treasurer. She also helps to organize the kitchen for potlucks and other events. We love you, Rose, and we thank you for all you do. You are a blessing! |

North Burma Christian Mission
This mission is lead by Joel and Marilyn Khopang. It's one of the missions supported monthly by ERCC. the following is from their recent newsletter:
|
|
Lahu Evangelism Update
Joel was able to return to Pastor Cakeu's village of Pa Jee and held a three day seminar. The subject he taught was on Christian family life. As villagers living away from civilization and not having much interaction with modernizations as well as being new believers in Christ, they have no idea what a Christian family means. So Joel was able to teach and explain to them using many examples from the Bible and applications from our everyday life. Cakeu also helped with the songs and Scripture reading each day and also did all the organization and call together for this Seminar. At the end of the three days, one young man was baptized into Christ. The baptism took place there in front of Cakeu's house in a small rubber child's swimming pool! Joel and Cakeu together performed the baptism. The reason they baptized him there at Cakeu's house was due to torrential rains and mud-slides and flash flooding made it impossible to go to the regular place.
