What's Happening at ECV

Receiving the Gift of Limits Teaching Series Sunday, Matt kicked-off a new teaching series, Receiving the Gift of Limits. The talk focused largely on our responsibility to live within the particular limits that make us the individuals God created us to be. If you missed it—or if you'd like to share it with someone who missed it—it's online here. This coming Sunday, Ryan McAnnally-Linz asks about living within the limits God has set for us as communities: Are communities similarly limited? How can we receive our communal limits as gifts?

So, grab some dinner, bring your questions, and we'll see you at 6.
