Adult Christian Formation will resume via Zoom on 1/24 at 9:40am. The topic for the week is based on an article by Paul Bane, " "The Longest Journey You Will Make In Your Life Is From Your Head To Your Heart." Contact Ron Allen at ronallenga@yahoo.com or contact Fr. Paul for Zoom meeting information. Current topics have been about how to adjust to the current COVID-19 climate as a faithful Christian in a divided community.

The new pavilion is well under way! The land has been graded and new concrete poured. We are excited to be able to gather in this space in the coming months.

We have not yet met our requirements for nominations to Vestry. We have one member who has volunteered and another individual who is considering serving. We now have 4 (FOUR) positions we need to fill. If you have ever thought about serving at ECA, now is the time! We need you. We have never been in this position before and COVID may have something to do with it. Vestry members are a VITAL role in the life of the parish and we can not operate without a functioning VESTRY. Please contact Fr. Paul pcm09@bellsouth.net or Wanda Ziembinski ziemby@hotmail.com to learn more about serving on Vestry. Stay tuned for details on the upcoming Annual Meeting.  

End of Year Pledge Statements are Available for Pick up or emailed: Help us Save on Mail Expenses Thank you to all who gave to ECA in 2020!  End of year pledge statements are currently at the church for pick up, we can also email them to you. We are trying to save on the expense of mailing out $75 worth of mail. Feel free to contact the office at ecaparish@gmail.comwith any questions. 

ECA Reach will meet on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 7pm via Zoom. Email Jane Whisler for zoom login info . View Agenda Here . All are welcome to get involved with inreach and outreach at ECA!

Join us online this Sunday at 9:00am for Morning Prayer online via Facebook and at 10:30am for a Drive-in Morning Prayer with Communion. All are Welcome (see instructions for drive in parking below).

While we are still not allowed to gather for large crowds for in person worship inside, providing opportunities for worship is still our top priority: Currently, we are offering a Drive -In Service to allow parishioners to stay in their warm vehicle for the service. See parking diagram to the right (please park straight and not diagonal).  Notice the parking pattern to allow every car the opportunity to see directly in front of them. Join Us! All in-person activity and group meetings at ECA must still go through Fr. Paul to ensure contact tracing accountability measures. Here is the latest information we have.

Now that services may be streamed from the church again, Altar Guild will continue their ministry of preparing the altar for services. This includes flowers. Thank you for supporting this ministry.

Volunteers being Sought for Sunday Service including Readers! We need YOU! 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. Volunteers are especially needed to read the Sunday lessons.
