We raised around $450 dollars which will be split evenly between Evergreen non-profits and our church's emergency fund, which is used for folks who come to church looking for help.
Thank you for making it a success!

ECC to host a concert from the Evergreen Chamber Orchestra on November 14th
Details to come.
Evergreen Jazz Festival & Gospel Service held every year at ECC!
It was fantastic!!! George, Nancy, Sandy and Gloria began on Thursday and continued on until Sunday evening prepping the building, and “Food Court”. Dave, Judy and Bob provided support with the bulletins, and schlepping stuff around the place.
The Sunday service was amazing as usual. George provided excellent leadership for the service that included about 220-230 participants. Rev. Richard Ward did another outstanding job of sharing his message that was well received by all. Queen City Jazz Band and Wende Harston were inspirational. The offering generated approximately $600 for Beyond the Rainbow, $600 for Tennyson Center, and $600 for ECC! Sandy was still tallying results from the “Food Court” but the response from patrons was that the food at ECC was GREAT, and at a GREAT price!

Open & Affirming Process
We've completed our six-week Open & Affirming process and will hold a ritual of affirmation and confirmation this Sunday at the end of our Easter worship service to become designated as an Open and Affirming ministry of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Open and Affirming Ministries commit to openly welcome and affirm persons of all gender expressions and sexual orientations to the table of Christ's communion and to the full life and leadership of the Christian Church.
Last Sunday we worked together on an Open and Affirming Statement, and here is the final result, fine tuned by the Working Group this week, and reviewed by some of our LGBTQ+ friends to make sure that our intentions came across accurately to them:
Evergreen Christian Church affirms and celebrates LGTBTQ+ individuals and families to be authentically who they are. We invite all to join in life’s faith journey, to serve together, and to create a safe haven for the marginalized. Together, we will continue to seek to understand the challenges of the Church to live out the mission of Christ in the world.
You are encouraged to participate in the full six-week process. We will post weekly updates of our progress and resources on our Open & Affirming blog page.
