What's Happening at ECV

Being Church Summer Teaching Series Last week, Matt continued our summer teaching series through 1 Corinthians called Being Church. He talked about the way that being church changes the ways we ought to approach "being right" and "having rights." This week, we continue with chapters 10 and 11, which lead us deeper into the ways that God's call to be church together, living in such a way as to build one another up.

Picnics in the Park 2nd & 4th Wednesdays 4:00-7:00 pm Bring something to grill or a simple picnic dinner, play basketball, get wet in the water park, swing in the playgrounds, or just hang out with others in the ECV family. All are welcome, so bring some friends and neighbors to join the fun. The park is on the corner of Ashmun and Webster Streets newar Yale Health Center.   Summer Bible Study Thursdays @ 8:00 pm 47 Dyer Street Paired with the summer Sunday teaching series, Matt will be leading a mid-week bible study covering the parts of the letter from which the next Sunday's teaching will draw. There's too much in each week's passage to fit in a Sunday talk, so if you really want to dig in and follow the whole flow of the letter, join us Thursday nights. The study will be both intentionally accessible to those new to the bible and/or new to faith and also rich for those who've spent a lot of time studying scripture, so come check it out and invite a friend! Vineyard Regional Conference Next week (7/14-7/17), pastors and other leaders from Vineyard churches from the NorthEast—including a number of folks from ECV will be gathering in Lewiston, ME for a time of worship, fellowship, envisioning, and refreshing. Please pray that the time will be a blessing for all who are there, including Josh, Tina, Matt, Hannah, Tracie, and Eoin who will be leading workshops on multi-ethnic church, suffering and Kingdom expectation, and the impact of artists and the arts on the life of the church.
