Will Rogers once said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party; I’m a Democrat.” When you consider our current presidential race, he could have easily said Republican.
We Baptists are one of the most organized denominations anywhere (perhaps too much). I like plans and preparation, but I like even more the way the Holy Spirit takes our hard work and exceeds our efforts. March at Eastmont was incredible. There were mission trips (New York), Passion Play, a Missions Conference, and of course Easter Sunday. What God did through all of these was far greater than we could ever plan. When we do the possible, God does the impossible.
Want to be baptized? Our fourth Backpack Baptism is this Sunday night. Anyone twelve or older can just show up and be baptized. Our only requirement is that you have received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. I will be glad to baptize someone under twelve provided one of our ministers or a parent has discussed their salvation with them.
Faith - Family - Friends is our slogan and describes us. It also expresses our purpose:Faith - believing in Christ.Family - becoming like Christ together.Friends - bringing others to Christ.
Each year God enables us to give about $200,000 to missions. Thank you for your generous support. We are about $3,500 short of this years Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. Pray first, then give as God leads.
Every week I thank God that he has allowed me to serve with you here. You are the finest people anywhere. You probably expect me to say that because of my position. But it would be true even if I were not your pastor. Your love for Christ has encouraged me to serve with greater dedication. Faith, Family & Friends is more than a nice phrase. It is what I’ve experienced at Eastmont with you.
