A note from Kate Wallace Nunneley, Associate Pastor at Glenkirk:
One of our mission partners, who works with pastors in India, has shared that many of these faithful leaders lack access to solid study resources to help them teach the Scriptures to their people.
If you’ve been thinning through your library and have study Bibles or commentaries you can part with, we invite you to bring them with you to the Presbytery gathering. Your donation will directly equip pastors who are eager to grow in their understanding of God’s Word and better serve their congregations.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to bless and strengthen our sisters & brothers in ministry. We look forward to seeing you soon!
The ECO National Gathering is for pastors, elder, lay leaders, spouses, seminarians and students, staff teams, covenant partners and those interested in learning more about ECO. This gathering is beneficial for your entire leadership team and anyone involved in your local church. There is an immense opportunity for growth and bonding when you come to the gathering with others from your congregation! Take free time during the week to plan and pray, get to know others serving in similar church settings, or just hang out, have fun and make memories together!
