    PRICE:

    $100 per person

    WHAT:

    Cohort Based | Ekko Story Advance organizes six participants to journey together through the entire program. In the duration of eight weeks, participants’ primary learning and reflection come from their willingness to be vulnerable and open in their stories and discoveries. In so doing, they learn largely from each other and not only in their interaction with pastor and advisor.

    Advisor-Directed | Story Advance is paired with an in-house advisor (Joanne Lee Moon) who will facilitate the week-to-week online discussions as well as accompany the weekend retreat.

    Online & Hybrid | Story Advance engages in a variety of venues that are EPIC – experiential, participatory, image-driven and connective . It does not encourage simply downloading information; instead, participants and advisors value relationship and the dynamic interaction, which will enrich and deepen its outcome. The format comprise of weekly meetings online, a weekend retreat and a final get together for reflection. During its final week, participants will join Ekko Orthopraxis Graduation Celebration and inform graduates of personal outcome of Story Advance.

    WHY:

    Ekko’s Story Advance seeks to create a space where we can offer God a better story of our lives, one worth passing on to the next generation, one worth reading and hearing about. A story with a climax and great ending. We want to hear at the end of this story the words from our God, “what a great story you’ve written and added to the Story I’m writing.”

    WHAT:

    Ekko does the Passover Meal on Good Friday Every Year.
    We are a people of the New Exodus, Jesus is our Passover Lamb, and God is our Great Deliverer who has set us Free from Oppression and Sin! Let us keep the feast together. 

    WHY:

    God told us to do it.
    12 "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn--both men and animals--and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. 14 "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD--a lasting ordinance. | Exodus 12: 12-14

    Jesus told us to do it.
    And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." | Luke 22: 19

    Paul told us to do it.
    Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed. Therefore, let us keep the feast! | 1 Corinthians 5:7-8

    WHAT:

    “…wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about… in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” | Acts 1

    Jesus made it possible for us to be in Sync with God the Father in a whole new way. At Pentecost, on Mount Sinai, God’s people received God’s Law on the tablets of stone. On the day of Pentecost, celebrating the historical moment when God’s people received God’s Law, the Disciples in the upper room had the Law of God written on their hearts. Jesus made possible the New Exodus, the New Covenant, and the New Pentecost.

    At Sync, we seek to be filled with God’s Spirit anew.

    WHY:

    "Come Lord, stir us up and call us back, kindle and seize us, be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love, let us run."

    - Augustine, "Confessions"

    As part of Ekko’s movements in the season, we celebrate the Pentecost. We ask God to meet us at our annual camp, Sync, so that we can reconnect with what God is about. We explore our values each year at Sync. Ekko, let us Sync with God.

    Movement II: Passion | Summer
    “I am my beloved’s and He is mine” 

    Why the Layaway Plan? This year’s Sync is more expensive than we’ve had in the past. We did not want the issue of money to be a factor in the decision on whether people go or not. We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to be able to come and experience God’s presence.
