Blessings
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Eastside family in 2021. “The LORD is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does” (Psalm 145:13b). We give thanks to the LORD for His faithfulness, and we look forward to serving Him in the year ahead as we resolutely share His Gospel. “The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The LORD watches over all who love him…”(v.18-20a).

Start Your Sunday Here
Join us for a new Bible Study beginning January 16 at 8:30 AM. We will be conducting an in-depth study of 1 Peter. This letter was written to Christians living in a struggling society that was progressively becoming more anti-Christian. Peter teaches us how to stay strong in our faith, deepen our walk with God, and how to relate to nonbelievers in a way that draws them toward the Gospel, all in the midst of such a difficult environment. We will be on break Jan 2 and 9.

Apologetics Class
Join us for our upcoming weekly apologetics class beginning January 11, taught by Reed Willis. We will be learning about the historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence that proclaims the truth of Christianity, as well as how to lovingly and confidently share our faith with non-Christians. If you have ever pondered questions such as, “Why would God allow evil?” or “Do Christianity and science contradict each other?” or if you are seeking to bolster your faith by learning about the abundant evidence of Christianity, we encourage you to join us Tuesday evenings at the church, starting January 11, 6-7 PM.
Young Adults
This group is on holiday break and will resume meeting on Jan 16, 6 PM at the Cox’s house, 5500 Scott’s Pond Dr.

Prayer Requests
Do you need prayer for something going on in your life? We have prayer team members who would love to pray for you and your situation.
