All Saints Sunday

 "Our Mission is to bear witness to God's love and invite, encourage, and prepare God's people to share that grace with others." 

ECA Ladies Night Out TONIGHT!

Ladies are invited to a wine tasting night at Deep Roots Wine Market and Tasting Room tonight, Thursday November 3 at 6:30pm to share in good wine and good fellowship! All are Welcome! Plan to arrive early enough to find parking, as it can become difficult in the historic downtown area. Check out the venue here: https://www.deeprootswine.co  Contact Bliss Peterson with any questions.

Daylight Saving Time Ends November 6: Fall Back! Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before bed on Saturday. You won't want to miss the special services at ECA this week! 

More Than Enough 2023 Stewardship Campaign: Pledge Cards Turned in this All Saints Sunday

On All Saints Sunday, members can place their stewardship pledge cards in the pledge box on the altar or collection plates as a symbolic act of our faith commitment to God and the church. Once we have received the pledges at the altar we will then bless them and give thanks for the abundant blessings God has given in our lives and also acknowledge how God continues to provide More than Enough to ECA and in our ministry to the world.

"And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.  And all ate and were filled. What was left over was gathered up, twelve baskets of broken pieces". Luke 9:16-17, NRSV
