Common Threads is a group at the ECCLT who meet weekly to knit and do other kinds of handwork. The group meets Tuesday evenings at the church from 6-8pm. Gatherings begin with sharing a meal. Please bring something to share! All are welcome and you don’t have to know how to knit or crochet! We have lefties and righties who can teach you.

My Friends in Christ,
There is a particular mercy in the small things…the way a child reaches for your hand without thinking, or how coffee tastes better on a slow and rainy morning. Sweetness rarely announces itself. It slips in through the side door while you are busy with something else.
We tend to save the word for sugar and sentiment, but I think sweetness is closer to relief. It’s what you feel when something is exactly what it is, without apology or complication. A ripe peach. A genuine laugh. Someone remembering how you take your tea.
The sweet things do not ask you to analyze them. They only ask you to notice. Let me know what you notice this week.
In Christ’s Peace,
Christine+

Safeguarding Training at ECCLT - A Note from Jesse Johnson, Office Administrator
I am pleased to share that I have been certified as a Safeguarding Trainer for the Episcopal Diocese of Texas! What this means is that not only now can I schedule training for anyone who would like to be certified, but you can also complete your live training with me right here at ECCLT! I am in a unique position that enables me to help folks with all sides of the training and answer any questions you may have, as I also serve as the Safeguarding Records Administrator for our church.
I am currently working through my database to see who needs what- re-certification, finishing an online course, a live training, etc. Once I sort through my master list, I am going to host a live training at ECCLT so that we can get everyone who needs a live training certified and registered with the diocese.
What I need from you: if you would like to be trained for a certain ministry, please reach out to me so that I can schedule your online courses. If you are unsure if you're trained or in need of re-certification and would like to volunteer in some capacity (pastoral team, Sunday school, etc.), please reach out to me as well and I can provide you with that information.
If you hold a key code that allows you access to the church, you will need to be trained. I have a list of those of you that have keys and I will reach out to the members that will need to complete what is known as a "Keyholders Training." Many of you will be within regulation based on your current Safeguarding status, so I will only reach out to those that will need to complete the course.
Once every person has completed their online courses, I will then schedule a live training so please stay tuned for that date in the near future. I am hoping to hold a live class a few times a year so if your needs change, I will be able to accommodate them.
Thank you all in advance as I navigate my new training certification and I look forward to meeting with you all. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any question that you might have at [email protected].
