Week of 12/20/2024
NEW WORSHIP SONG
'Tis the season to celebrate all that God has done for us, from remembering Jesus' coming to earth as a baby over 2000 years ago, to reflecting on God's presence in our lives throughout this year, we have so many reasons to PRAISE THE LORD!

SERVING OUR SENIORS
We would love for you to join our ministry by serving our seniors at Senior Bible Fellowship. This is a bi-monthly gathering on the second and fourth Tuesday at 11:30am where our seniors come together for fellowship, faith, and a delicious meal. Here’s how you can help: prepare a dish to contribute to the lunch—either a main dish, side, salad, rolls, or dessert. It’s a simple but impactful way to show love and appreciation to our seniors. The time commitment is flexible. With enough volunteers, you may only need to help once a month or less. You can even prepare your dish ahead of time and drop it off at the church. If interested, please email the Deacons.
SUNDAY BIBLE STUDY
Come and join us before service every Sunday at 8:45am in the media room for a new study of Proverbs from Warren Wiersbe called Be Skillful, God’s Guidebook to Wise Living. This study is facilitated by Elder Scott and the book cost is $12. You can pay in class, drop your payment in a tithe box or drop it off at the church office. (Please indicate on your payment that it’s for the study). This is a great opportunity to meet others in the church and share God’s Word. The new study begins January 5th.
*We will not be having our study on Sunday, December 22nd or the 29th.
COFFEE FELLOWSHIP
Stop in and join us before service on Sunday morning around 9:15am for some light refreshments and fellowship.
ERCC KIDS
On Sunday, December 22nd, during the service, our kids from preschool through 5th grade will have a special celebration of Jesus' birth! When dismissed the kids will go to their normal classes. They’ll rotate rooms and enjoy festive activities like cookie decorating, making crafts, and even a fun scavenger hunt. Then they will gather in the Media room for a short movie and cupcakes. It’s a wonderful opportunity for our children to experience the joy of Christmas while learning more about the true meaning of the season. (The Nursery and Toddler classes will run as normal) For questions, reach out to Pastor Adam.
CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
Join us on Tuesday, December 24th, at 6:30pm for a Christmas Eve service as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It’s a special time to reflect, rejoice, and share the joy of this holy season together.
OFFICE CLOSED
The office will be closed on December 25th in celebration of the holiday.
MEN’S BREAKFAST
Come and enjoy breakfast while getting to know the men of our church on Saturday, December 28th from 7:00-8:30am. The men will share breakfast, Elder Giff will speak, and then the men will breakout into small groups for discussions. Let’s strengthen each other through His Word. If you have any prayer requests, please let us know as we would love to be in prayer for you!
ERCC YOUTH
Invite your friends and join us on January 5th from 4:30-7:30pm for an evening of fun and fellowship! Enjoy a delicious dinner, dive into a thought-provoking biblical message, engage in meaningful discussions, and have a blast with some exciting games. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect, grow, and make lasting memories. For questions, reach out to Pastor Adam.
PRAYER MEETING
The Elder’s desire is to glorify God by making ERCC a house of prayer. Come and join us on the first Tuesday of each month as we pray for the church, ERCC ministries, our country, and the nations. There will be two sessions on Tuesday: one at 8:00am and one at 7:00pm. Elder Dean Tsuchida will be leading the prayer time.
LADIES NIGHT OUT
Ladies, start the new year with a night full of fun and connection! Join us on January 8th at 7:00pm for a game of Bunco—a lighthearted and easy-to-learn dice game that’s all about laughter and mingling. It’s a great way to meet new friends and deepen connections with familiar faces. Feel free to bring a snack to share if you’d like, but most importantly, bring yourself! Whether you’re a seasoned Bunco pro or have never played before, this evening is for everyone. Don’t miss this chance to unwind and enjoy a wonderful time with other women in our church community. We hope to see you there! Questions contact Jeanette Hecox.
IRON SHARPENS IRON
We encourage the men of ERCC to invite friends and join us on January 11th at 7:00am. Let’s help strengthen one another spiritually, mentally, and emotionally through thoughtful conversations. Questions, contact Men’s Ministry.
SENIOR BIBLE FELLOWSHIP
Senior Saints! Please join us as we share our lives in Christ to encourage, grow, and laugh with each other. We’ll meet in the ERCC Media room for a delicious lunch, ukulele led worship, a biblical message, sharing, and prayer. The Lord sustains us as we continue to bear fruit and praise God. (Psalm 92:14 – 15). Come and join us at our gathering on Tuesday, January 14th from 11:30-1:00pm. If you have any questions or need transportation, contact Dean or Kirie Tsuchida or 425-228-1427.
