Due to our concern for all of you, we are limiting social contact. In compliance with both state and federal guidelines, for the foreseeable future we at ECCT will be having our services online. We will seek to enhance our online presence and will try to get added material to you as we are able. Please be patient as we are still working out the details and seeking to get the necessary things in place to do this effectively.
Sunday April 5, 2020
Scripture is one way God talks to us. He has words of encouragement and comfort for each of us, even in this difficult and stressful time.
Call to Worship
Psalm 97:1-6
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.
Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side.
His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax before the Lord, before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory.
Music is a wonderful gift from God. It is a way to communicate beyond mere words. While we can't all sing together in the sanctuary this week we can still lift our voices in praise of The One in control of everything. (God is the only one listening and He loves to hear you sing) then come back here and listen to Pastor Denis' message.

I Pet 5:7 - Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
In our prayers

In our prayers
- We are thankful Lord that You are still in control in the midst of this pandemic and that You have promised to never leave or forsake us (Heb 13:5).
- For the Covid19 Pandemic and for the recovery of those infected we pray they will cry out to the Lord and receive His help. For the scientific community in their quest to understand and fight this virus.
- For frontline workers like medical personal and first-responders, for strength, protection & health. We are so thankful for their sacrifice & we ask for their health and safety. Help them as they see patients lose the battle with Covid19. For national, state and local leaders that they would have wisdom to lead and be able to contain the spread of this pandemic.
- For our most vulnerable, those with health challenges we pray for protection, as well as for the poor and homeless, those in shelters and those in poor nations, for their provision and care. For those experiencing financial hardship with the closures of so many businesses. For single parent homes with limited income already and now confined to homes. For those who are feeling anxious, isolated, and afraid – may they find assurance and provision in You Lord.
- For Christians both here and around the world, that we may continue to serve and minister to our neighbors in the name of Jesus.
