Eastside Update 12.18.20

by Eastside Church on December 18, 2020

ON HOLD

With COVID cases continually on the rise, we are temporarily pausing all INDOOR worship and Sunday morning childcare at Eastside. While we are sad to put these Sunday morning options on hold, we are thankful to still have our Sunday OUTDOOR worship and our live streaming offerings in place. On days when the weather is too harsh for meeting outdoors, everyone will be invited to watch the live stream of the service from home. 

Many thanks to Heather Sowers for volunteering to serve as our Children's Ministry Director. Eastside is blessed to have so many caring volunteers serving our children and families, and Heather's leadership will help us continue to plan, grow and thrive. 

DECEMBER 24 PLANS

Our Christmas Eve service will be held at 4 PM in our parking lot, weather permitting. Please join us for this brief and special time together.

SUNDAY MORNING 10:00 AM

Last Sunday the weather drove us indoors. But until further notice, we will only meet in the parking lot, weather permitting. Please visit our website eastsidechurchwmbg.org for details and updates.

We live stream the worship service on our YouTube channel (Eastside Administration) so you can watch on the go or from home.

For taking Communion during the worship service, you are encouraged to bring your own bread and juice as we practice safe social distancing. However, we will have some Communion elements on-site if you need them.

SONGS FOR SUNDAY

We rely on our phones (or our memories!) for song lyrics during the service. You can find lyrics for this week's songs by clicking the links below:

FRIDAY PRAISE 2:00 PM
