From all of us at ECA we would like to wish you a Merry Christmas! This season can bring much cheer for some, but remember there are those that have been shut out of life. Look around your neighborhoods, your family, your friends and if you know someone who has had a rough go of life, give them a call. A simple “I was thinking about you” may be the brightest light they may have had in a very long time. To all of you out there that life seems bleak to during this season our prayers and thoughts are with you and our hope is that you will know the HOPE of Christmas!
