Sunday Evening Bible Study
The Truth Project
An In-Depth Christian Worldview Experience

Starting January 23^rd, we will meet in the fellowship hall each Sunday at 6 pm. The theme is “The Truth Project,” a production of Focus on the Family. Each Sunday evening, we will watch one of these transformational videos, and then have our own discussion of the material.

The following is an excerpt from the webpage of Focus on the Family:

• “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The Truth Project is a ground-breaking small group curriculum on the Biblical worldview. This video-based home Bible study is the starting point for looking at life from a biblical perspective. Join Dr. Del Tackett, as he takes you through 13 engaging video lessons on the relevance and importance of living the Biblical worldview in daily life, featuring insights from biblical experts like R.C. Sproul, Os Guinness and Gordon Pennington.”

JOIN US ON SUNDAY’S AT 6:00 PM

A Celebration of Life memorial service for Carrie Camacho will be held at ERCC on January 15th, 2022 at 1:00 pm.

Benjamin Olivares has a new baby sister! Bailey Olivia Olivares, weighing 8 pounds and 7 ounces was born on November 15th to our Youth Minister Derrick and his wife Evelyn. Everyone is doing fine and should be home with the baby in a few days.

We’re celebrating by having a “virtual baby shower” for the family by providing them with gift cards for Walmart or Amazon to help with diapers and other necessities. The gift cards will be presented on Sunday, December 5th during the 10 am worship service. If you’d like to donate a gift card, provide it to Linda or Mark Wright before then.

Congratulations Derrick, Evelyn, Benjamin, and Bailey!

OCTOBER 31st

ERCC is hosting this Fall Festival event as an alternative to Halloween. This is an opportunity to reach out to our community and show the love of Christ in Evers Road Christian Church style.

We will be hosting the Fall Festival in our parking lot. We’ll have a LARGE inflatable obstacle course, several carnival style games with candy prizes, and an outdoor movie. Kids are welcome to wear “appropriate” costumes.

Many volunteers are needed to help with this event, so please help!

We will also need donations for this community event:

• Candy, lots of candy! Please only donate candy that won’t melt and is individually packaged and sealed.
• Extra-Large Ice Chests
• Pop up Canopy Tents

If you can help:

• by donating any needed items
• want to volunteer
• or have any questions

please contact our youth minister, Derrick Olivares.

You can email Derrick HERE.

During the Sunday morning Bible Study (Sunday School), Millie Borelli is teaching a Sunday School class which is open for all adult women.  The theme is “Unshakable Hope”.  The class meets 9:00 – 9: 45 am in a Fellowship Hall room.

Jane Montez is beginning a Zumba class in the fellowship hall on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. This is a great opportunity to get some exercise in a Christian environment with Christian music and fellowship. We want this to be an outreach to the community as well. There will be a small charge of $3.00 per session. More specific details will be published in the church bulletin.

Please pray for our Youth Minister Derrick Olivares and his ministry with the youth. ERCC will begin hosting a weekly Bible study for Neff Middle School students in September. Derrick’s connection with Youth-For-Christ is what brought this ministry to ERCC. The Bible study will be held in our fellowship hall on Mondays from approximately 3 – 5 pm.

We praise God for this outreach!

Niños de México is a Christian mission supported by ERCC. They operate five children’s homes in the Mexico City area. Each home is designed to function as a family. With Christian house parents, their kids, and 11-19 children, Niños’ homes are truly loving and caring places for the children to grow and learn the love of Jesus.

Update from Steve Ross, Executive Director

This has certainly been a unique year with all that has happened in the U.S. and around the world. When the pandemic began in March 2020, we were unable to take in new kids who were in extreme circumstances! Since September, we have had multiple calls regarding kids in urgent need of rescuing. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED in order to respond to these requests!

Last month we were able to reopen our homes and WELCOME a family we had planned to take before the Coronavirus forced us to lock down. Carlos, age 8, Mayrin age 7, and Mia age 5 joined our Genesis and Jireh homes. The children suffered severe neglect, malnutrition, and had never attended school. It can take time for kids to adjust to new rules, routines, activities and, of course, new “siblings”. The kids are doing great now! It was fun to watch one of the little boys at the Genesis home, six year-old Jesus Salvador, take Carlos under his wing and show him where everything was and what he needed to do to fit into the family.

More children need YOUR help! There is an urgent need – we closed 2020 caring for 104 kids. Calls for help keep coming in, asking us to provide a safe home for more children who are living in desperate situations. YOU CAN provide hope and a new future for the kids who are being cared for by Ninos right now and those who will be welcomed in over the coming months! If you are able consider a special gift. A gift of any size will help us respond to the calls. More children need your help!
