   We’re already looking forward to the 2017 ECC that will meet Novermber 10-12, 2017 in Hershey, PA. Our theme for the year is More to Restore and our 2017 President, Daryl Reed is already working hard to bring the best lineup of speakers and leaders to share with us.
   This will also be the 50th gathering of the Eastern Christian Conference, so we will be doing some special things to commemorate that event. If you didn’t make it this year – you won’t want to miss it next year. And if you gathered with us last month – there’s more in store for you in 2017. Come back and invite some friends to join you!

   We’re hoping to see more involvement in Bible Bowl at the ECC in years to come. If You’re interested in getting Bible Bowl started at your church, Minta Hardman would be happy to give you some directions. 
   Here are the results from the 58 students participating in this year’s Bible Bowl competition at the ECC:
