Please be encouraged and careful as we see and hear what is happening again in America regarding the COVID-19 global pandemic and the different variants. God is still good!

Dear Ebenezer Family,
Greetings to you all in Jesus’ name! I trust that all is well with every one of you and your families. The Hill household has expanded and has increased in energetic output, with the addition of four (Keinon, Zsai, Cairo and Saint a Labradoodle), and I am pleased as pink lemonade. However, I request prayer for energy and strength (perhaps some renewed strength). All that to say, we are doing well too.
Unfortunately, I must announce the loss of another m

Dear Ebenezer Family,
The Executive Leadership Team met this week, and agreed upon June 27, 2021, as our first sanctuary worship since COVID19 restricted our in-person worship, and imposed restrictions on our personal lives that most of us have never experienced before. As a church family, we have experienced loss, but we have also experienced the grace of God throughout this period. We learned how to employ tools that enabled us to worship, to attend Sunday School and Bibl

Good morning EBC Family,
You know that the Lord has promised to keep them in perfect peace whose minds are stayed on Him. My thought for today is keep your mind on the Lord Jesus today and every day. Have you read your Daily Bread?

Psalm 37 is one of the many Psalms that
