We exist to make disciples who Love God, Love People, and Reach the World.

THURSDAYS 7:00 p.m. Covington Campus

Real Life and Celebration Place Real Life: A safe place for middle &

high school students to deal with “real life” issues and find support and acceptance.

Celebration Place: A “pre-covery” ministry

for children ages 8 weeks-5th grade. It is a safe place for children to learn how to deal with their feelings in a healthy way.

(Both are ministries of Celebrate Recovery.)

The mission of making disciples who Love God, Love People, and Reach the World is now extending beyond the Covington Campus. The strategy to continue expanding ECC, the influence of the disciples, and spreading the gospel of hope in our community, will include multi-site campuses. We have entered a season of stewardship which includes contributions

to the ACTIVATE Fund. It is the goal of ECC to:

establish fully-functioning, disciple-making, ECC multi-site campuses around East Metro Atlanta

eliminate current debt to free-up resources for ministry

fund capital projects at the Covington Campus

and support new churches in India Would you prayerfully consider partnering with ECC on this life-changing initiative? (Please use the ACTIVATE envelope provided at the Information Center or write “ACTIVATE” in the memo line of your check.) Thank you.

Total ACTIVATE giving-to-date: $285,628.00

Tithes and Offerings for July 13 (both campuses) Total Tithes: $24,253.75

Weekly Budget Needs: $24,519.23

July 20, 2014 You ASKED For it!

Why don’t we see signs and wonders anymore in the church?

People of Israel, listen! God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs

through him, as you well know. 23But God knew what would happen, and his prearranged plan was carried out when Jesus

was betrayed. With the help of lawless Gentiles, you nailed him to a cross and killed him.

Acts 2:22–23 (NLT)

A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.

Acts 2:43 (NLT)

What does the world really need to see from the church? People who love ____________.

Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 30And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart,

all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ 31The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as

yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these.” Mark 12:29–31 (NLT)

People who love ______________.

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging

cymbal. 2If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had

such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3If I gave everything I have to the

poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NLT)
