Mercy Meals Ministry
Providing love to family, friends and neighbors when they are hurting is a calling for all Christians. One tangible manifestation of this love is providing meals to those in need. The family at EBC has a long tradition of doing this and it brings glory to God. We have a ministry here that tries to help in this regard, we have already prepared meals available for the body to give to friends, family or neighbors when time is tight and you do not have time to prepare a meal. They can be found in the hall closet freezer, just remember to sign out so we have a record of who is taking, who it is going to and which meals were taken.  If you have any questions at all, please contact Gary (908-883-0758).

In a culture that does not regard an embryo to be a human person with rights, we have organizations like Planned Parenthood receiving millions of dollars to fund abortions. Pro-lifers have been forced to retreat into a corner as they continue to lose the abortion debate in both the legal and social arena. Does the pro-life position have any merit? Can pro-life Christians enter the marketplace of ideas and defend their views while making an impact in our culture? Scott Klusendorf in his book The Case For Life delivers a powerful resource that aims at not only providing a philosophical, biblical, and scientific pro-life case, but equipping Christians to dismantle the common pro-choice arguments and rhetoric that are steeped in our culture.
