Fall Back Time Change

November 1st is our annual Fall Back time change. Don't forget to adjust your clocks accordingly. 

Ministry Opportunities

  • Looking for a simple way to serve? We need Snack Providers for the lobby and at the family tables in the sanctuary. Contact the church office for more information or to sign up.
  • Do you have an interest in leading the children's ministry or know of someone who would do a great job of it? If so, please contact Derrick Howard at derrick@efclascruces.org.
  • Digging Deeper, our church’s children’s ministry during the sermon time, is looking for one or two new teams. Please contact Julie Schumpelt, Director of Digging Deeper.

Potluck and Pie Social

Please join us following the worship service on Nov. 22 to enjoy a true classic potluck meal. Please bring a main or side dish to share along with your favorite pie. Fellowship will be the best dessert.

Need Prayer? We're Here For You!

One of the simplest and most meaningful ways we can care for one another is through prayer—and we want to make that as clear and accessible as possible.

If you have a prayer request, you can submit it anytime using this link:

Equipping Class 

Our current Equipping class series entitled "Thriving in Babylon," is a video-based series of five lessons where Larry Osborne introduces us to a man forced to live in a fast-changing and godless society. That man was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only survived, but thrived.
