And, please pray that God will bless this emphasis as a time of spiritual growth and commitment.

EGL SCHOOL FAMILIES BRIEFING: With the advent of ‘no tuition’ for EGL-member school families, it is vitally important that everyone understand the implications for faithful stewardship. In order to accomplish this goal, each EGL-member school family is required to attend one of two stewardship briefings scheduled between the worship services on Sunday, Aug. 10, and Sunday, Aug. 17. Each briefing begins promptly at 9:15 a.m. and ends promptly at 10:00 a.m. Again, the requirement is that each EGL-member school family attend one of these two briefings.
