Reach 238
Saturation Event on Saturday, 6 pm on October 26th

Our next Outreach at Serenity Residence Apartments will be a “Trunk Or Treat” on Saturday, October 26th. We’re asking for 7 to 10 families to decorate their truck or car in a creative way and have candy to offer the kids. We’re also asking all ERCC members to donate a bag of candy for this project and we’ll need volunteers to make and serve hot chocolate.

NOTE: The Trunk or Treat event will NOT be at ERCC.
The Event will take place at the Serenity Residence apartments, 1 mile away at 6400 Wurzbach Road, at 6:00 pm on October 26th.

Remember, this is all part of an ongoing plan to build relationships with those who live close to our campus and show them the love of Jesus.

 

Saturday, Oct 12th, Laser Tag

In October, ERCC’s high school students will gather at the church for a brief bible study followed by a trip to play laser tag! We’ll meet in the fellowship hall at 1:00 pm on Saturday, October 12th and study scripture together before loading up for laser tag. We plan to play from around 2-5 pm before heading back to the church. We’ll take the church van for transportation, but parents may choose to come along if they wish to stay with their child after we load up to return to the church.

If you/your child plan to attend, please let Caleb know no later than Wednesday, October 9th at 5 pm.

We hope to see you there!!!

Alan Wan Speaking at ERCC on Sunday, October 6th

Alan Wan of
Mission Resource Network (MRN)
Speaking October 6th in 10:00 am Worship Service

Alan was born in China. He became a follower of Jesus when he was in college in China from the influence of his English professors. After graduating with a Master’s degree in English, he came to the U.S and received another Bachelor’s degree in Bible and Intercultural Studies from Ozark Christian College.

Before joining MRN, Alan served for 8 years as the Development Officer for Good News Production International (GNPI), a global media ministry. He traveled around the country to connect donors with Kingdom-building opportunities and to share how their generosity changed lives for eternity.

His wife Jenny is actually a former member of ERCC, and served on the missions committee. Alan and Jenny met in September 2018 as Jenny performed her mission committee role of communicating with the missionaries we sponsor.

Alan is grateful to be part of the MRN family and to connect with people who share the same passion for multiplying healthy leaders to disciple the unreached and under-served people groups of the world.

Outdoor Movie Night – Friday, Sept 27th

Join us Friday September 27th for a great movie about a Texas boy born in poverty. His godly single mother struggled to provide food for her kids, and they suffered hunger. But George grows up to become the heavyweight champion of the world; then he has a powerful conversion experience. At a time of crisis, George re-enters the ring to fund his Christian ministry to street kids. He then accomplishes a feat that no other boxer before him ever did—he wins the heavy weight title a 2nd time at the age of 45.

ERCC will provide hot dogs. Please bring side dishes and desserts to share.  Join us for family fun. We’ll begin eating at 7:00 pm.

The movie will begin at 7:30 pm. Don’t miss this true story of struggle and faith with a happy ending!
