This Week's Events

Sacred Text Reading This Wednesday, 9/21, 7pm at 810 Elm St (the home of John & Jen Hartley) Our friends at Pathways for Mutual Respect have invited members of ECV and Masjid Al-Islam to engage in a series of sacred text readings, which have been really rich times together. In looking to love and bless the Muslim community here in New Haven, a good place to start has been in establishing understanding and conversation in dialogue with the texts in which we encounter God. u Come and join the conversation.
Sprouts At ECV, we consider the kids in our church a blessing and a really important part of our community. Our goal is to help teach our children what it looks like to love and follow Jesus!	Join Us There is a small parking lot (with a handicap space) directly in front of the church. If that lot is full, there is plenty of street parking on surrounding streets (free on Sundays).	Homegroups Homegroups are central places of connection in our church--where we get to know each other, pray for each other, worship, and read the Bible together. They are great places to get connected and plugged in to life together. Learn More
