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.
