*Kid’s Connection Leadership Needed
Are you looking for a good way to serve @ EBC? Do you feel called to work with kids, and sharing God’s love with them?  The C.E. Council is looking for an individual or couple that would like to lead our Wed. Night Children’s Program, Kids Connection starting in the Fall 2025. The main role would be facilitating the Wed. Night program. Pastor Tim will be helping get the curriculum together and find leaders during the summer to prepare for the fall. If this sounds like something God may be calling you to or if you have any questions about leadership in this ministry area of EBC please speak to Pastor Tim at any time. We are excited about what God is going to continue to do with the kids that come to EBC!

Bible Story Books
The Church was given 25 sets of children’s illustration books written by “Bible Bill” former owner of Peoria Charter. One is titled “The Bible Tells Me” and the other “When I Become a Child of God.” We ask that only 1 set be taken per family with age-appropriate kids, at this time. These will be in the Connected Center. See Dani Martin with any questions.
