2025 VBS OFFERING PROJECT
    During this year’s VBS, our nightly offering will go toward a project to help the church in El Pinar, Honduras. They need to build a fence around an avocado grove that the church family tends. The income from harvesting and selling the avocados will help to finance the continuing ministry of the church, as well as to provide for those tending the grove.
    Pray for this special need for the church in El Pinar and give as the Lord leads you. Make any checks out to our church – Echo Alliance Church – and put “VBS Offering” in the memo.

GREAT COMMISSION DAY OFFERING
“Send Forth Laborers”
    The world is full of empty and unplowed fields – places where seeds of the gospel have yet to be sown or where people have turned their hearts from Jesus. Yet God’s heart of compassion is for these forgotten, neglected fields.
    We go and send because God calls, because the fields are ready, because hearts everywhere need to encounter His compassion and love. Together, let’s join with our Lord of the harvest and send forth laborers into His fields.
    We will receive our Great Commission Day offering on Sun, Jun 29. Please make any checks out to our church and designate it as “Great Commission Day Offering 2025” or  “GCD 2025.” Talk to Pastor Marty if you have any questions.
