Each Sunday during this season of Lent we'll hear from an elder or a pastor as we look at the significant, amazing and triumphant final words spoken by Christ during those pivotal final hours. tinyurl.com/ecclivestream

Head over to the Ecclesia app and read the weekly giving journal, Generosity in Action, for updates on how Ecclesia is impacting the world locally and globally. Current entries include details from Lowell Taylor, Good City Mentors of LA and Homecare in Kenya!

This winter we will be hearing from guest speakers Alex and Hannah Absalom. Born in England, Alex and Hannah moved to the US in 2007 and currently live in Long Beach, CA. Together they'll be sharing practical tips on how to lean into the Holy Spirit in relatable yet bold ways during everyday interactions with friends, family, co-workers and neighbors. With Jesus, together we can be naturally supernatural.

Jon Ritner's message this past Sunday responds to the events in the Capitol on January 6th. It's a great conversation starter for correcting the confusion of Christianity. Share this video with a friend or family member and make a plan to listen to their reactions to his message! https://youtu.be/RjzRWzgwgAg
