Sunday Worship: Join us for worship this Sunday, September 24, 2017 at 10:30 am. Dr. Rev. Renee McCoy will lead us in worship and Holy Communion this Sunday. Scripture Reading: Jonah 3:10 & 4:11 Sermon Title: "Justice or Just Us" Happenings: Congregational meeting Sunday October 1, 2017 after worship. Interim moderator Karen Jones will be presenting the summary of the mutual evaluation, the issues identified and the action steps planned. This is an opportunity to hear what members and friends thought was the state of ECUCC, and to further comment, question and clarify. It is very important that you come and be part of this process. We will likely be spending several Sundays on this to make sure folk have a chance to hear and comment. Our own Nathaniel Allen has been impacted by Hurricane Irma. The roof on his Florida home has collapsed. Please consider making a special offering to help him during this time. You can make your check out to Eastgate with "Nate" in the memo line. We will write one large (hopefully!) check to him to help with some of his expenses. We are looking at other opportunities to raise money for him, as this is probably bigger than our group; maybe a GoFundMe page, or a craft bazaar. All ideas will be considered so feel free to bring your ideas to the convo! We have done some AMAZING things when we have worked together as a family to help someone in need and I am confident we can make a difference for someone we all love! End AIDS Walk: Saturday, September 23, 2017 Eastgate Congregational UCC will be participating in the End AIDS Walk. The event will take place at Volunteer Park located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Registration begins at 8:30 am and the run/walk begins at 10:00 am. Eastgate UCC officially has a team. Please go to http://endaidswalk.org and click register it will take you to the page where you can join the team. Please type "Eastgate UCC" for the team name and register. The goal for EUCC is $500 for us, but we can raise more if we utilize our networks and social media page. Each time a person registers they will get a personal link that can be shared to raise money. Join us and lets continue the fight against HIV/AIDS. Weaving Our Strengthens Conference: Saturday, September 30, 2017.
