South Central Texas Women’s Retreat

Ladies, please make plans to attend the South Central Texas Women’s Retreat, Friday and Saturday, 18-19 October at the Sunday House, 510 E. Main St. in Fredricksburg. The theme will be “Be Transformed” with guest speaker Love Lockman. If planning to attend, Millie has registration forms which will be due with payment no later than Sunday, September 1, 2024.

The cost for attending Saturday only is the same as the past two years: $45 which includes lunch. Cost for the entire retreat which includes hotel and meals is based on the number of occupants in a room (from one to four maximum). Prices are on the form and range from $100 per person for four to a room up to $245 per person for those who won’t be sharing a room. Scholarships are available for those who can’t afford to pay but who wish to attend. Just let Millie Borelli know as she is ERCC’s contact person. Also, there are only two ADA rooms that are first come, first served. Optional T-shirts “Be Transformed”, Romans 12: 1-2″ can be pre-ordered on the registration form as well. If pre-ordering, payment will also be due at time of registration. For more information or questions, please contact Millie Borelli at (210) 347-3568 or at mjborelli@satx.rr.com if you don’t see her at church.

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!

For September, the ERCC youth will be gathering at the church for a Scripture Scavenger Hunt! We’ll meet right after church on Sunday September 15th for the hunt. Bible verses will be hidden all over the place, and students will need to solve puzzles centered around Scripture to find their next clue. Parents and students of all ages are encouraged to attend. Afterward, we will meet in the fellowship hall for ice cream and a brief lesson. See Caleb if you have any questions.

We hope to see you there!
