Peace On Earth—Eternal Peace

Friends, can you believe Christmas is next week?

Today we gather online for Christmas Holy-Day Service 2020! (aka: our last Christmas-themed service of the year—we're trying to make it sparkle here.)

It's OK to join late or leave early. We'll be glad to see you at any point!
As a reminder, here's the plan:

  • 10:30 a.m.: Echo Kids Zoom (message Kendra if you need the link).

  • 11:00 a.m.: Jump on with Zoom and say hello to all.

  • 11:10-ish: We'll have the final Christmas message from our Peace on Earth series.

  • 11:30-ish: We'll take communion together and worship in song.

  • 11:45 or so: To close our time, we'll divide into breakout rooms for deeper conversation and to pray for one another.

  • Noon: You can head on out or some friends stick around to eat lunch together onscreen. You do you!

**Note: Sunday, December 27 we will not have an official service. But we will have a Zoom hangout open from 11:00–11:30 if anyone wants to hop on and see some friendly faces.

If you missed being with us on Sunday at 11, see below for the recorded service video.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Sunday, December 27

We will not have an official service. However, we will have a Zoom hangout open from 11:00–11:30 if anyone wants to hop on and see some friendly faces. Otherwise, enjoy family and enjoy some peace and we wrap up 2020 and send it packing.

Let's Stay Connected in Prayer

Sometimes you're experiencing something you absolutely don't want to walk through alone. But you don't know how to bring it up.

Since we aren't seeing one another right now, we can't just mention it in passing. And it can feel awkward to decide who to reach out to—and do you text or call? But that feels weird too.

So we've created a space for you. See if it's helpful:

  • If you have a need you would like the church leaders to lift up in prayer or a praise you want to celebrate, you can send it here. The staff will be alerted of your note and will absolutely journey with you in prayer and rejoicing.

  • You can also use the same link to schedule a time with any Echo pastor if you would like to talk on the phone, on Zoom, or set up a safe in-person opportunity.

Let's stay connected.
