Called to Care is an annual ECC series based on Matthew 25, to make us more AWARE of God’s work and human need in the world, move us to CARE enough to act, provide opportunities to SHARE, and cover ministry with PRAYER. This series is sponsored by the ECC Impact Team. If you would like to join the Impact Team, email Pastor Kris Causton.
