A Sincere Thank You to All Who Serve the ECCC

I would like to take a moment to express my deep appreciation to all the fathers, servants, and volunteers—past and present—who have dedicated their time, efforts, and love to making the East Coast Coptic Children Convention (ECCC) a reality year after year. Your commitment and sacrifice have been the foundation of this blessed ministry, shaping the hearts and minds of countless children over the years.

Our beloved fathers from New England, New York, and New Jersey Churches. I’m truly grateful for your spiritual leadership, guidance, and unwavering support. Your dedication to nurturing our children’s faith is a living example of Christ’s love in action. Whether you have been with us from the beginning or have recently joined this service, your prayers, wisdom, and encouragement have played a vital role in strengthening this ministry.

To our incredible servants, your tireless efforts, sacrifices, and commitment have not gone unnoticed. Every year, new servants step up, and others pass the torch, yet the same spirit of love, care, and dedication remains. From organizing activities, leading workshops, and coordinating logistics to simply being there for the children, your selfless service reflects the heart of true discipleship.

The ECCC would not be what it is today without each of you. Your love, patience, and devotion have created a retreat where children not only have fun but also grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and deepen their relationship with Christ.

May God bless each of you—past, present, and future—for your hard work, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication. We look forward to continuing this journey together, serving, guiding, and inspiring the next generation in Christ.

With gratitude and appreciation,

Fr. Andrew Awad & ECCC Servants!
