One of our three Synod initiatives is Evangelization. Light of the World Evangelization Ministries (LOTWEM) will help us begin the transformation to a truly evangelizing parish. As LOTWEM states:
“Parishes need a strategy for evangelization. We provide a solid foundation for a game-changing evangelization process at your parish. We provide the first two stages of the evangelization process ...then help you build out the other stages.”
When rescheduled in the fall the retreat schedule includes a Friday evening, all day Saturday & Sunday and Monday evening. It is a commitment, but well-worth the personal and spiritual rewards. The Retreat will stimulate and richly impact ECC’s evangelization goals. Responses from LOTW retreatants at local parishes; "I thought it was wonderful"; "I would highly recommend it"; "I really, really enjoyed it"; "there was lots of faith sharing".
Kerygma
The gift of salvation which the apostles accepted and proclaimed throughout the world. It is what we must also accept and proclaim to others in our lives.

Our Parish Synod prayer calls the Holy Spirit "to ignite our passion to live and share the Gospel and commit ourselves to a renewal of our personal faith." The upcoming Retreat is just the opportunity to begin this renewal. We hope you will give serious consideration to engaging in this journey. Sign-up sheets can be found at the entrances to the Church.
