UPDATE:  Due to the cold and strong winds, the “official” ERCC prayer walk is cancelled today.  But feel free to walk and pray on your own.

The next ERCC Prayer Walk is on Saturday, April 17th, at 4:00 pm in the O P Schnabel Park.  The address is 9606 Bandera Road, but the main entrance is under construction, so enter via Verde Drive which is west of the main entrance (see map below)  The park has 8.2 miles of natural, pugmill, concrete and asphalt trails which are great for Prayer Walks!

What Is A Prayer Walk? A prayer walk is pretty simple,  It just brings together two wonderful things:  walking & praying!  It’s a time we can be intentional about exercising and being intentional about  prayer.

We’ll meet at the entrance of the park, have a group prayer, and then everyone can walk at their own pace, for as long as you’d like, while meditating and praying.

Join us!

When:  Saturday, April 17th, at 4:00 pm
Where: OP Schnabel Park, 9606 Bandera Road

Beginning April 5th, Pastor Mark is starting a new daily devotional series, An “Encouraging Word“. He is sending out short videos Monday through Friday for a 6-week period. Each video includes a verse of Scripture and a word of explanation to encourage you.

We need volunteers to help with our annual spring cleaning.  This is the time of year when we get ready for our spring and summer events by getting the church grounds and property repaired and cleaned.  We have jobs on the outside and on the inside so lots of help is needed! 

Start Time is 9:00 am on Saturday, April 3rd!

Thank you in advance for your help!

Join us on Easter morning (April 4th) for breakfast at ERCC.  We’ll have our traditional breakfast tacos, muffins, and other yummy breakfast foods ready at 8:45 am until 9:45 am.  Plan A (good weather) is to enjoy our breakfast and fellowship outside between the fellowship hall and main building.  Plan B (bad weather) is to move inside the fellowship hall.  There will be an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids at approximately 9:15 am.

And then at 10:00 am we will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior and worship our God together in the main auditorium!

CHRIST IS RISEN!

Due to local forecasts for freezing rain on Sunday, February 14th, all morning and evening services are cancelled.  Please stay warm, stay safe, and we hope to see on the following Sunday!

It is intended to encourage you each day to think on the things above and draw near to God.

If you wish to receive these videos, sign up by sending him an email at pastor.mark.a.wright@gmail.com.  Just say, “send me the videos.”
