Dear EFC Subscribers:

Hello from California, with 110 degree heat and wildfires burning seemingly everywhere, with Covid-19 still raging and with social unrest regarding the need for social justice, especially for our African American friends. God is still in control.  The main purpose of this newsletter is to inform you about teaching and learning opportunities coming up in the near future.
