ECHO IS BACK NEXT WEDNESDAY! 🎉

We’re getting ready to kick off another year of ECHO Worship, and we want YOU to be part of it!

ECHO is a place to worship, connect, serve, and lead. And this year, we’re especially excited to see our high school students step into leadership on Wednesday nights.

🎤 Lead worship
🎸 Join the ECHO Band
👥 Help lead a Small Group
🤝 Welcome and encourage younger students
🙏 Use your gifts to serve others

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to show up and be part of something bigger than yourself.

📅 Wednesday, September 9
🍽️ 5:15 PM — Community Meal
🎶 6:30 PM — ECHO Worship
👥 7:15 PM — Youth & Family Meeting/Small Groups

Come to worship. Come to serve. Come ready to lead.

We can’t wait to see you at ECHO!

HIGH SCHOOL: WE WANT YOU TO LEAD. 🙌

ECHO isn’t just something you attend. It’s something you can help lead.

This fall, we’re looking for high school students to step up and serve as:

🎤 Worship Leaders - help lead songs, prayers, readings, and other parts of worship.

👥 Small Group Leaders - help create a welcoming space where younger students can talk, ask questions, and grow in faith.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to show up, use your gifts, and help make ECHO a place where others belong.

It’s a chance to grow in confidence, deepen your faith, build relationships, and make a difference for younger students.

Ready to step up and lead?
Talk to Michael to find out how you can get involved this fall!

A NEW SCHOOL YEAR. A NEW START. 🙏

As school starts back up this week, we’re praying for YOU.

For the first-day nerves.
For new classes and new routines.
For old friends and new friendships.
For teachers, coaches, parents, guardians, and everyone who helps make your school community what it is.

May this year bring growth, courage, friendship, and joy.

And when school gets hard, remember: you’re not doing it alone. You’re surrounded by people who care about you, believe in you, and our God who calls you God's own.

Praying for you as you head back to school!
