Why Come Early?

     It has been fun to hear the stories from our congregation who have made the decision to come to worship early.  Come join the ranks of honoring God from the very beginning of our worship time together!


BY COMING EARLY:
  • "I have been able to welcome people who are new"
  • "I've come to realize how much happens even in the first 10 minutes of worship"
  • "I have been able to prepare my heart so I can engage immediately when the first worship act begins"
  • "I understand better the whole story being told in worship"
  • "Songs we sing in the beginning have more meaning because I'm ready to sing them"
  • "I'm saying to myself and others in a tangible way that God is more important than I am"
  • "It feels right to start together as one body at ECC rather than casually straggle in... it just feels more honorable as I come before the Lord of all creation"
