This week Bruce will conclude our recent series, "What Kind of Church?" This Sunday we will consider how we can each contribute to the life of the ECC family, helping us become the kind of church God wants us to be. In Ephesians 3:21-22, Paul writes this prayer:
I pray that Christ Jesus and the church will forever bring praise to God. His power at work in us can do far more than we dare ask or imagine. Amen.
What are you "daring to ask or imagine" for ECC? How will you -- your passions, your gifts -- fit into the picture?
for the worship ministry,
Robyn

From Eric Pritchard:
This week we are continuing our examination of the Church and what God intends for us to be as a body. Ephesians 2: 8-10 states “God saved you by His special favor when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
I grew up in a church family that seemed to understand the New Covenant as if it were given in the same format and with the same purpose as the Old. It was very hard to understand grace while trying to earn it. It was not until I accepted God’s mercy as a “free” gift that I began to respond with a gratitude that is far more motivating than fear of hell.
When I ask you “What do you believe God wants ECC to be?” I don’t mean “What do you want to experience on Sunday mornings?” or “What kind of facilities does God want us to enjoy?” I mean what kind of good things do you think He prepared for us to do?
