In October, Fr. Henry, Jerry, Ben and Wendy will be traveling to Colorado to attend Synod. The theme this year is Passing the Torch. There will be a large torch structure at Synod and we are being asked to fill the torch with ribbons the colors of fire – reds, oranges, yellows and golds and even some blues. We have ribbons in the vestibule and we would like everyone to choose a ribbon and write with permanent marker your hopes for the ECC. What do you see the ECC being to all? What positive message can you send with us to Synod? We will gather all the ribbons before we leave for Synod and take them with us. We would like for everyone to participate and help us to “light” the torch at Synod

We have many exciting events coming up. Mark your calendars!
