We are participating with several churches in a mission project. There are hundreds of children living in rural Mexico who are in desperate situations. The holiday season can be especially difficult for a child who feels that he or she has been forgotten. We want to join with others who are providing Christmas gifts for children who would otherwise receive nothing. If you are interested in helping us with this, please email me (echobiblechurch@gmail.com). If you like, you can specify the gender and age range of the child who will receive your gift. Just let me know what you would like. Dennis Swanzy is distributing the empty boxes to be filled with gifts. If you will notify me of your desire to participate, I will send your information to Dennis, and he will bring a box for you to the gathering this Sunday.
This past Sunday, we continued our current teaching series, "What We Believe" with the third of our core values:
Community:
We believe that we were meant to live a life that is deeply connected with others. We will always seek to be a church that honors community.If you are interested in reading more about this, here are some books...
Does reading this blog feel a little like watching Reading Rainbow?
Anyway, I hope everyone is having a great week. See you Sunday!
