MISSIONARY UPDATE


This morning, we'd like to provide an update on one of our partner organizations, LOVEBoldly.

Heidi Weaver-Smith, Executive Director of LOVEBoldly, recently announced that the organization celebrated its 9th birthday this month! They are currently still working hard to offer support to the LGBTQ+ community during this time of social distancing. The LOVEBoldly team will be providing virtual support during Pride month in June. They are also encouraging individuals to reach out with prayer needs and working to set up regular prayer teams for anyone who would like to join.

Kevin Schad serves as an Echo Church elder and a LOVEBoldly board member, so we checked in with him this week for updates as well.

Kevin let us know that LOVEBoldly has hired a new team member to help with administrative work and also added two new board members. He informed us that they are hopeful to still offer their Devoted seminar in Columbus this Fall.

When you give to Echo Church, you join in supporting the work of organizations like LOVEBoldly. If you know of anyone who would like to support them directly or you'd like to learn more about their work, check out their website or email Kevin Schad.

ECHO KIDS

 

This week's parable narration and illustration is brought to us by two Echo Early Learners class teachers as well as one of our Echo kids. The story is based on the parable of the mustard seed from Matthew 13.
