Enote From Pastor Andy 9-20-17

September 20, 2017

Dear Eastridge Family,

Tonight, we will have our worship service at 7PM in the church sanctuary.  Claudia Romero will be sharing the message so don’t out of this time of worship and fellowship.

I look forward to being with you tonight!

Pastor Andy

Alabaster

Sunday morning during the worship service we will be receiving our Alabaster offering.  The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. It gives a sense of permanence, the attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to "put down roots." Eighty percent of the money is used in world mission areas, and twenty percent goes to multicultural congregations in the United States and Canada. Alabaster funds help provide land for most Work & Witness projects. The entire offering goes toward the construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.

Baptism

We will celebrate a baptism service this Sunday September 24^th.  Following the baptism service, we will have a potluck dinner. 

Membership Class

Pastor Eva is having another membership class starting October 1^st, at 9:45 am during the Sunday school hour.  Please talk to her if you are interested in discovering what being a member of Eastridge Church of the Nazarene is all about.

Quotes

“Revival is a community saturated with God!” – Duncan Campbell

“A baptism of holiness, a demonstration of godly living is the crying need of our day.” – Duncan Campbell

It will not do for us to go to Heaven by ourselves. We must be on fire, friends for saving others. To be workers will draw heaven down and will draw others to heaven. Without a readiness to work, the Spirit of prayer will not come. – Evan Roberts

Instead of suggesting that we could escape the earth to go to heaven, Jesus’s good news was about heaven coming to earth. – N. T. Wright

In a book written by his son and daughter- in-law, they reveal that Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret was that he obediently walked closely with God in prayer.  Howard Taylor wrote of his father, “For forty years the sun never rose on China a single day that God didn’t find him on his knees.”
