COMMUNITY MINISTRIES Our Lord said: "Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me." Matthew 25:40 The following lists represent the ministries that are currently supported by the ECC Community Ministry Board. More than 700 people have been seen at the New Hope Community Health Clinic and many have accepted the Lord as well.  Between 50 and 75 Seniors meet every Thursday for food, fellowship and spiritual growth at our Senior Drop-In.  Our MOMS program meets each week to provide for young mothers in their spiritual journey.  The ACTS tutoring program services many of our neighborhood youth each week.  We provide the "Open Pantry" food bank with regular donations of non-perishable food items. Several thousand items were delivered last year.  We support several seasonal programs like our Angel Tree Ministry which provides Christmas gifts to children with parents that are incarcerated.  We support our local prison ministry "Residents Encounter Christ".  We support the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center.  We support the Springfield Rescue Misssion and its programs.  Meals are provided for people in need through our Brown Bag Blessings program at holiday times.   OPPORTUNITIES Project Homeless Connect On JUNE 6, 2008, the City of Springfield will partner with service providers, businesses, citizens, and faith communities to bring multiple resources to one location where people can come and find the services they need.
