This Tuesday, March 5th, we will be having another inspiring ECCO community gathering and training. The last one received rave reviews even despite that we had to move to Zoom because of the weather, and this one promises to be even more dynamic because we will finally be able to gathering in person, God-willing.



This week, we will review and build on last month’s training on one-on-one relational meetings, and then learn how to use research actions to determine what exactly we want, who has the power to give it to us, and how we can convince them to do so. Once again, we will be taught by our incredible teaching team from MCAN, this week from Janine Carreiro, MCAN co-director and truly dynamic teacher.

We will be meeting in the Library and Clarke Hall at First Church.

Look for your Easter Lily donation letter in the mail in early March. If you do not receive a letter, please contact the office. Thank You.
