Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the first day of what has historically been called the season of Lent (which ends on Easter Saturday). During these 40 days of Lent (not counting Sundays), Christians throughout the generations have focused especially on the death of Jesus in order to more fully embrace the richness of His resurrection on Easter Sunday. Ash Wednesday begins this time of focus by reminding us of our great sin and our greater Saviour!
Come Wednesday (26 February) at 7:30 PM and participate in this rich and meaningful tradition of Ash Wednesday. Please note that childcare will not be provided.

ECB Students' Retreat
Myths and misconceptions regarding the Christian faith are rampant among teenagers. There are myths about Christianity such as, "Christians can't have fun" and "Christians have too many rules." There are myths about the Bible, "It isn't relevant to me today" or "It isn't even true so why should I believe it?" There are even myths regarding individuals, "God couldn't love me" or "I'm worthless." The list goes on. During this retreat we want to confront some of these issues and just like in the Mythbusters TV show, we want to debunk them and lead students to Truth! This retreat is open to all students age 11 to 18 years old.
