What’s Happening This Week – July 14th, 2013
Join us next Sunday at 11am as we continue our Upside Down Kingdom series. This series engages Jesus’ teaching on the Sermon on the Mount. Our Lead Pastor Timothy Lloyd will explore Matthew 6:25-34 and Jesus’ teaching on trust. Don’t forget that if you’ve missed any sermons, you can catch up with our podcasts or sermon videos.
Weekly Prayer/Running Group // Thursdays at 6:30 a.m. // We will meet outside the church for a prayer followed by a light jog through the neighborhood // Email Justin Barnes for more info [email protected].
Pre-service prayer – 10am every Sunday before church we have an informal time of prayer in the prayer corner. This is a time when we intentionally pray for the church, its growth, and existence. Consider joining in this time of prayer for the church and centering before worship.
Growth groups (small groups) are the way we connect more intimately with each other at Eastside. If you’re interested in learning more about joining a Growth Group please contact Trent Lloyd – [email protected].
