Resurrection Sunday Greeting:

We thank God you chose to worship with us today as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Because we’re clear you had other options, we are humbled and honored you took the time to experience the presence of the Risen Christ at EBC. It is our hope and prayer that you find EBC to be friendly, the music to be uplifting, and the mes-sage to be relevant to your private and public life.

Prior to sampling EBC, you possibly had your doubts about whether or not you’d find a place which fits you. We hope you’re done doubting, and see that EBC is the church for you - one which is deeply spiritual and socially relevant. Consider giving the Lord & EBC another chance next week on Sat. @ 5:30pm or Sun.@ either 9am or 11am. Or, perhaps the Lord will lead you somewhere else that’s even better suited for you. Whatever you do, don’t stop praying, looking, and believing that the Lord has just the right pastor and people for you.

May the Lord continue to order your steps, lighten your load, and strengthen you for the journey ahead.

In Service to Christ, Anthony L. Trufant, Senior Pastor Shareka Newton, Executive Pastor
