A busy place

This weekend Encanto Community Church will be a busy place. Having been approved by of our Moderator and our Chair of Trustees, the Encanto Community Church will be hosting two different groups over the weekend.

The first group is the Southwest Conference Youth Ministry Council who will have their overnight planning meeting in the Church House on Saturday January 10th. Brian Gruhn (Southwest Conference Interim Youth Minister) is overjoyed to have Encanto Community Church host the Youth Ministry Council, particularly after he sent me an emergency e-mail on Monday when he learned that the previous plans had fallen through and now the Youth Council had nowhere to meet! Plan on coming to church Sunday morning to meet Brian and the entire Youth Ministry Council as they not only join us for Sunday morning worship but also lead our Children's Sermon!

The second group using our building this weekend is the Phoenix Mar Thoma Congregation, an Indian Christian congregation who will be renting our Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall this coming Sunday evening for their worship service. Church members will remember meeting several members of the Mar Thoma Congregation when they joined us one Sunday morning for worship. Members from their congregation met with our Chair of Trustees and myself on Monday afternoon and will also meet with Church Council on January 19 to talk about the possibility of furthering our relationship.

And of course, things are always busy here on Sunday morning at the Encanto Community Church. We will have worship at 10AM in the sanctuary, followed by Coffee Hour in the Fellowship Hall. Everyone is welcome to join us as we celebrate the extravegent gift of God's love that is known to us through Jesus the Christ!
