🚨 5/8 UPDATE!!🚨
We greatly need your prayers and support to promote the “Caring for Children with Cancer” ministry. Below are the collected donations thus far. Because we will only be at the EFCI parking lot for 1.5 hours on 5/22, we encourage everyone to submit their contributions to church before 5/21 so that we can be efficient with our time. We need more prayers, support, and promotion from everyone! Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
📣 Announcement!
EFCI will join several churches in supporting the NEGU (Never Ever Give Up) Foundation as part of our “Love Irvine” community outreach effort. We will participate in two community ministries to support children with cancer: Joy Drive and Care Cards.

NEGU accepts new toys and supplies, which will be packaged together in Joy Jars. Through the use of Joy Jars, we encourage children with cancer to never give up. Please refer to the poster for details on approved items or use the link here
Financial donations are also acceptable. You may make checks payable to EMCI and write "Caring for Children with Cancer" as the memo and we will purchase the items for you.
❤️ Care Cards
To make care cards: First, download the Care Cards template from the NEGU website, color them, and write warm and encouraging messages as suggested by NEGU, and finally, pray for and bless the cards.
EFCI will accept the donated items and cards at the following times:
Date: 4/14 – 5/21
Time: Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays between 9:00 am to 11:00 am
