Next Sunday, we're starting a new series that we're really excited about.
Adam will kick off the series, and over the course of the series we’ll explore the reasons behind what we do as followers of Jesus and as a church. We'll cover topics like Why Jesus?, Why Church?, Why Worship?, and Why Give? You can find the complete list on the tear off in your program and on our website. This is a great time to invite friends or family who may have questions about one of these topics!

It takes a village to raise a child, and it takes many volunteers to staff Kid Connection over the summer. Kid Connection does more than keep track of children while parents are in the main service. They provide opportunities for children to begin growing into disciples. We learned a few weeks ago in Mark 10:14 that Jesus loves children, and wants them to come to Him. We can do our part by serving the children in our congregation and showing them the love of Christ. If you’re interested in serving in Kid Connection this summer, stop by the Kid Connection table in the lobby, or email Kelli (kmcgill@efree.org).

The National Day of Prayer (May 3) is an annual observance that invites people of all faiths to pray for the nation. To learn more, visit efree.org/events.
