Dear church family,
Join us as we go Christmas caroling on December 23rd at 5pm! Please bring a light necklace and a light to read music if you don't already know the carols. We are planning to meet on Turrentine Drive to carol around the Turrentine neighborhood and then we'll proceed to the Krieger's neighborhood. Music will be provided for all who come. After caroling in the Krieger's neighborhood we'll be reconvening at their place for wassail! Hope you can join us!
If you have any questions, please contact Chris Yee by email chris@efclascruces.org.
Thanks!

Dear church family,
We will be moving toward having the program/bulletin online. We understand that change may be hard for some. As Pastor Jeremiah says, "Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape"! The transition will take place over the next few weeks. We will have both printed programs and online programs through the end of the year. Once we make the switch, we will have a few one-page programs available for those who really want/need one. We will have printed outlines of the sermon available as well. There will be QR codes around the lobby and auditorium for people to scan to get to the program. Soon there will be QR codes on the back of chairs. You will also be able to connect to online giving, a printable version of the program, The sermon outline, the free and clear, and the church's website. All directly from the online program
There are several reasons for making this change:
In an effort to reach young families and people from the university, people in this age group are very used to having things electronically. Most people throw their programs away because they don't need them once the service is done. It will reduce waste and cut the cost of paper. Having the program online will allow people to have what they need when they need it. Moving in this direction helps us increase administrative efficiency.
During the transition time, the greeters will point people to the online version that they can access through the QR code. You can also type in the address that will get you directly to the program www.efclascruces.org/program !
If you have any questions please contact Pastor Mike!
