Thursday nights | 7pm & 9pm

Norway hall 1419 bellingham, wa

Just a reminder, no Ekklesia this week or next week!! But July 5 we begin summer sessions!! Last night at Ekklesia we had the opportunity to celebrate with people from our community as they got baptized, publicly declaring their faith in Jesus! Such a great night! Thanks for all who came out and congrats to all who got baptized!! #ekklesiabham This weeks announcements!! 🎉 Tomorrow night instead of our normal gathering at Norway Hall at 7 & 9, we are meeting at marine park at 6pm for baptisms!! Bring something to eat or drink to share, but there will be hot dogs for everyone!! Also, the next two weeks, June 21 and June 28, there will be no Ekklesia!! We are taking a break before kicking off summer sessions on July 5!! Hope to see you all at marine park tomorrow at 6!!! 3 months ago we started this project to bring what we believe God’s kingdom is like, on earth. We called this the “on earth project” and our goal was to raise $20,000 for Charity Water and Ray of Hope, which would build one well in the developing world, giving an entire village access to clean drinking water for life, and also we would be sending 9 kids summer camp, which gives kids with traumatic childhood experiences a chance to have an amazing summer and feel absolutely loved! After shooting that goal straight out of the water we set a new goal of $45,000. With just three weeks to raise $25,000 more, you guys set out creating projects of your own to raise money for these great causes. Because of all the creative projects you guys did, and because of your willingness to donate your time for the hire a helper days, and willingness to donate your own finances, we were able to raise $55,000!!! We can now build not one but three!!! I repeat, three wells with Charity Water!! We are sending 9 kids to camp!! AND we bought a van for Engedi Refuge which is a nonprofit that provides a safe place for people who have been rescued from sex trafficking. This van will help drive them to job interviews, church, doctor appointments.. etc. THIS is what a community of young adults with a passion to bring the kingdom of heaven, on earth, can do. Ekklesia tonight!! 7 & 9 pm at Norway Hall! Hope to see you there!! Also, today at noon is the cut off for online donating for the on earth project!! If you feel inclined to do so, the link is in our bio! The only announcment important enough to be on this weeks post is... The on earth project! 🎉 This is the LAST week! You can still give online on our website until tomorrow at noon!! We are so so close to our goal!! We are changing lives both locally and globally as a community, and you have the opportunity to partner with us!! Check the link in our bio if you want to give, it’s not too late! Last week as we heard from @mollmart about how God calls us beyond our comfort. She talked about how, “We miss out on a life full of loving God and loving our neighbors when we refuse to cross the line between risk and comfort”, reminding us that small risk does not mean insignificant risk, but it takes some level of risk to cross that line of our comfortability to live the life God is inviting us into. If you missed ekklesia last week or just wanna hear it again, it’ll be up on our YouTube channel! Yard work, an activity we have all participated in some form or another throughout our lives. It requires a strong back and a desire to work hard. Akash Kumar has taken his excellence with yard work and reached out to his professional community to get them involved with the On Earth Project.
