ECV Summer Backyard Gatherings start next

Sunday, 6/28! For the foreseeable future, we will still have a

recorded service available at 4pm for anyone who cannot join us in the backyard for whatever reason. If we’re rained out any future Sunday, our plan will

always be to go back to our livestream for that week. Pray with us as we start this new season

of being together!
