Class for New Members
Are you ready to join Eastside Church? Are you thinking about it but want to learn more? Our new members’ class is where you want to be on Sunday, February 13, 11:30-12:30. Staff and volunteer leaders will be there to share about Eastside’s ministries, and lunch is included. Please email if you plan to attend. See you there!
Lunches for Brentwood Ministry
Each Sunday, Eastside provides lunch for the Brentwood children. Volunteers are needed to provide lunches for the following Sundays:
- February 20th
- February 27th
Please contact Michelle Flanagan ( ) if you are interested in serving in this capacity or have questions.
Additionally, two of our Brentwood families recently welcomed a new child into their homes! Children are a blessing from God, and He continues to shower His love upon the Brentwood community. We, as a church, are looking to reflect that love through our giving and are looking for donations, particularly diapers and baby products, for these two families!
Youth Group
Youth Group will not meet this upcoming Friday. An update of the Youth’s Schedule will be posted next week! For more info, contact our Youth Director Kris Samuel at 908-227-2421 or .
Friday Afternoons
Join us live on Fridays at 2 PM for songs of praise on Facebook and Instagram @eastsidechurchva.
Tuesday Nights
No registration is required for this class, so it’s not too late to join us for our weekly apologetics class. Led by Reed Willis, we are 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, 6-7 PM.
Annual Focus
Decisions, decisions...
Let’s look at where we are in our Annual Focus, “His Story.” Since September, we have talked about the storyline of Scripture with a goal of fixing it in our minds to better understand what we are reading. But we don’t stop there! Biblical understanding is supposed to move us, so we are seeking His Kingdom and trusting that His Word, which is living and active, will penetrate and conform our hearts to His will. Therefore, we are regularly challenging ourselves to take faithful steps.
Through February 27, we continue in the season of “Living in the Last Chapter: Being New and Making New Decisions.” Jesus is the fulfillment of the promise, and He is the Word of God who makes everything new through recreation. He is the author and completer of His Story, and he launches the new creation through his life, death, and resurrection.
So, we will examine what new decisions He might have for us to make as we look to advance His Kingdom by His Word and Spirit.
Sunday Scenes
We worship in person at 10 AM and our service streams live on our YouTube channel (Eastside Administration).
Sunday Songs
Lyrics for this week’s songs can be found by visiting our homepage.
Sunday Mornings
Join us for our morning Bible Study on February 11th 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.
