Events

In addition to our regular ministries we have a number of special events each year. These events are intended to deepen our unity and foster greater love between us. We also wish to provide more opportunities for our friends and family and fellow believers from other churches to participate in the life of ERBC and share in our joy with us.

Pacific Northwest Retreat

Set against the beautiful mountains of western Washington, we are excited to be hosting a retreat for singles within the Reformed community! Our hope is that this will be a time of fun, refreshment and encouragement with a focus on Bible teaching and fellowship. Families of ERBC will provide accommodation and breakfasts. Alternatively, if you prefer to organize your own lodging we can recommend hotels nearby for you.

Specifics regarding this year’s retreat will be made available soon! Contact us at pnwretreat.erbc@gmail.com for more information.

Marriage Retreat

In the spring of each year we have a retreat for married couples. The retreat is open to all couples who wish to come and be instructed and encouraged in their marriages by what the Bible has to say concerning the blessings and responsibilities of the husband and wife relationship. Click HERE for more information about the marriage retreat.

Ladies Retreat

The ladies pick a local hotel and spend one or two nights together enjoying prayer, devotional times, and sweet fellowship. Those that are unable to stay overnight can also come and enjoy the blessings.

Easter Brunch

On Easter Sunday, we enjoy a special brunch together. It’s a great opportunity for fellowship and to witness to others as we invite our friends and relatives. The brunch is in lieu of our regular Sunday School hour.

Talent Night

This is the big chance for everyone to display their talents (or their decided lack thereof). The talent night is always lots of fun.  We enjoy skits, singing, musical instruments, story telling, poems, quoting scripture from memory, and other “talents” that the Lord has blessed us with.

Mother’s Day Luncheon

The mothers and daughters share a special lunch together, including a devotional message by one of the ladies.

Family Night at a Mariners Game

For all the baseball fans or just those who like to eat peanuts and throw the shells on the floor. We reserve a block of seats together and pray for good weather. As often as we can, we plan to go on fireworks night.

4th of July Picnic

We celebrate Independence Day together with a big picnic at the church building. There are various  games, great picnic food, lots of red white and blue deserts, and (almost always) a big water-gun fight where most of the kids get soaked!

Church Camping Trip

We pack up our tents and s’more fixins and head for one of the great local Washington campgrounds for two days and two nights of sitting by the fire, singing hymns, fishing, playing games, and everything else that makes camping so much fun. The camping trip is always a wonderful time, well except for the year it started pouring down rain.

Game Nights

We meet to play various board games (everyone brings their favorites) and card games and of course there are lots of great snacks to munch on while we play.

Christmas Fellowship

The Christmas fellowship is for adults and older teens. We enjoy singing hymns, eating holiday goodies, and a little gift exchange.
