This page is dedicated to Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ Tharrow's view:
I spent most of my childhood and early adult years attending several Christian Churches with a wide range of beliefs.
While I have always had a deep faith in God, I never felt at home until I came to Eagle Christian Church in March of 2000.

The cross in Utah

Sarah's view:
I come from a family of non-believers, in fact I can never recall hearing the name God as I grew up.
I don't remember when I started to have a faith in a "Higher Power" as I called God then. I do remember though, many times throughout my early adult years feeling God's Amazing Grace.
One incident in particular comes to my mind. About 10 years ago and after going through a extremely nasty divorce I then found myself fighting a long and devastating custody battle for my 3 daughters. It was Mother's Day and I was all alone in my tiny house, no carpets on the floor, no telephone, just a bed and a kitchen table. I had been fighting to get my girls back for almost 2 years by this time. It felt like it would never end! My depression was so bad that the thought of taking my own life was forever present in my mind. Then came a knock at my door. There stood a woman that I had seen only once or twice before. After handing me a small wrapped box, she said that she wanted me to know that she had been thinking about me and then left. I went inside and opened the box to find a coffee mug inside, on it was written the Footprints poem!!!! That coffee mug, quite possibly, helped save my life. That woman, helped save my life. God DID save my life!
Within 2 weeks of this day the custody battle was over and my girls finally came back to me. That, is an Awesome God!
I continued through the next several years with a faith that I still did not understand. When I put my children into a Christian school, I was asked many times why I "wasted" so much money on something that didn't exist. I couldn't find an answer. At the time it was just something that I felt I had to do. Looking back, I believe I wanted my girls to have something that I was too afraid to reach for myself.

Footprints in the sand
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This bothered him, and he questioned the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why, when I really needed you most, you would leave me?"
The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it is then that I carried you."
Eagle Christian Church
ECC is full of loving and caring people that have welcomed us with open arms.
In the 2 years that we have been attending ECC these wonderful people have shared our good times and supported us through some not so good times.
They have answered every silly question that I have asked about God and christian life, all without batting an eyelid and with the help of our great ministers have helped me to open my heart and see God's Amazing Grace.
