Welcome back...HOMEGROUPS!

After a summer hiatus, our homegroups are back in action this fall. ECV's homegroups are really the central places of connection in our church, places where relationships are key--with God and with one another. Each group is a little different, but all of them are places where we connect deeply with one another and with God's work in the world, where we learn to hear God's voice (yes, God wants to speak to you!), where we hope and expect to find physical and emotional healing, and where we encourage one another in the ways that God is using us as agents of His healing in the world.

We're starting up 7 homegroups this fall, meeting on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. All the details are below. Come check one out or feel free to check out a couple different ones. They are all open and ready for action.
