Articles of Interest & Prophetic Times: If you would like to continue receiving the Articles of Interest and the Prophetic times in digital format (so that you can follow the links), please reach out to their authors/creators to be added to their mailing lists.

Food/Potluck Changes: Because of our change in venue, we will need to modify how we do our food socials. In lieu of crockpots and dishes that require a bit more space and set-up, we are asking folks to transition to bringing “Finger Foods” that can be eaten with fingers or toothpicks. Additionally, we ask that each family/individual be responsible for the temperature regulation of whatever food you bring. On June 27th, in lieu of a Potluck & Bible Games, we will be having “Robust Finger Foods & Extended Fellowship”.

Festival Tithe Sharing: If you would like to share some of God’s tithe that you are setting aside, there are a number of causes that we collect for locally: East African brethren, West African brethren, our incarcerated brothers, and gift baskets for those who will be unable to travel for the Feast of Tabernacles. If you would like to share with any of these local collections, please send funds to either Kim Olar or Julie Shew along with a note about how you would like those funds to be dispersed.

Festival Assistance [HO]: If you believe you may not have sufficient funds to attend the Feast this year—and have been faithful in saving your Festival Tithe—assistance may be available. Please contact your Festival Advisor, (David Peabody, Patrick Kurtas, or Don Hummel), or the pastor to request a Festival Assistance Member Information Form. Complete and return the form as soon as possible. All information provided will be kept confidential. All applications should be submitted by the end of June, so please don’t delay. Festival assistance is available for those who have been saving but still lack adequate funds to attend, as well as for those whose income makes it difficult to save enough. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help.

Independence Day Picnic: All are invited to the Ekamas’ for an afternoon of food, fellowship, and thanksgiving on July 5th as we remember the blessings that God has bestowed upon us and this great nation. Burgers, dogs, and the fixings will be provided along with some lawn games. Please bring drinks and a side to share along with a lawn chair. You can arrive any time after 11:30am, we’ll try to ask a blessing on the meal around 12:30pm. If you plan to come, please let the Ekamas know so that the right amount of food can be purchased. Warning: Kids [big and small] may get wet.

Health & Safety Protocols: We ask that any who exhibit symptoms of illness practice the biblical principle of quarantine.
