What wonderful services we had last Sunday.
Pastor will be continuing the sermon series “How to Really Enjoy Life”
Part II “How to Find Joy in Your Relationships”
Philippians 2:3 “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself”
Last week’s sermon really hit home with me. So I can’t wait to hear this Sunday’s message.
Sunday Evening will be the Attitudes series: “Peacemaking-The Seventh Step to Happiness” Matt 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God”
Come be apart of a church that is growing in God.

Pastor and I are ready to be back at Eastpoint. We had a great time off and enjoyed every minute. However, we really missed our church family!
This Sunday, Pastor’s sermon is “How to Really Enjoy Life”. How do you have joy in every situation?
Phillipians1:12, 13
“I want you to know, brethren that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ”
Come join us for both services Sunday. We love our church!!

What a wonderful two weekends at Eastpoint Family church. Our church services were wonderful.
Pastor and I were honored at our”40th Wedding celebration. Our church family and friends were there for this joyous occasion. Eastpoint ladies did a fantastic job with
decorating and catering.
Our first wedding was performed at Eastpoint Family Church last Saturday.
What a beautiful display of love was presented. Pastor Claude performed the ceremony and the marriage was sealed with God’s blessing.
We are going on our second honeymoon this weekend and Bro. Jerry Rice will be bringing the word forth.
We encourage our church family to take time off to rest and to be rejuvenated. So we are being an example to them by doing it ourselves this weekend. Pastor will be charged for next Sunday’s services.
We are excited about the up coming events for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Please come and be apart of our services.

Our second year anniversary celebration at Eastpoint was great!
We ended our service with communion and then we went and had a wonderful time of fellowship at Gates Barbeque and an afterglow on Sunday evening.
Pastor and I are so blessed to have a fabulous group of people who love us and the Lord. Kind words were spoken of us both and we are humbled to be servants for the kingdom of God.
Fourteen Eastpoint ladies went to the AG campgrounds for a ladies retreat.
We all were refreshed . We received two trophies for giving over a $1000.00 to the Treasue Chest( for missionaries) and giving to Convey of Hope $1001.00. I was so proud of our Ladies and our church.
Pastor and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary October 3.
I am so thankful for our love for each other. I guess we are starting to look alike too.
This Sunday, Pastor will preaching on worship. I am so excited to see what God is going to do in our services.
Come join us this Sunday and be apart of what is happening at Eastpoint.

I Didn't Catch That?
"What did you just say?” Have you ever caught yourself asking someone this question? It usually occurs after a misspoken word or remark, or a sarcastic comment in response to frustration with an individual. What did you feel when you asked someone that question? Our human emotions can range from offense of what we perceived was said to disbelief that such a comment was made. No matter what the outcome produced of the initial comment, either the speaker wasn’t cognitively pursuing an intelligent conversation, or they were being mean-spirited.
King Solomon tells us that, “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (Proverbs 25:11). In other “words”, a well-chosen word is not only honorable, but extremely beautiful, precious, and valuable. In the first and third chapters of James we learn that one who doesn’t keep a tight rein on their tongue not only destroys and invalidates their testimony, they also will destroy themselves for all eternity. So, we now know the power of the spoken word. We can lift someone up with well-chosen speech or we can crush them under the heel of our verbal decay. It comes down to what we value more.
While in this same thought process, let’s look at how we talk with God. Do we come to Him looking for a handout, or do we come to Him bringing praise and adoration to His throne room? Do we pay attention to the words we speak during our time in prayer to Him or do we mumble our way through a prayer that we have said exactly the same for fifteen years? Do we make “deals” with God knowing that we will never keep our end of the bargain? Remember, you are conversing with the God that created all things (even the things we don’t even know about yet). Choose your words correctly. For a correctly spoken word is indicative of the state of your heart and mind. You really don’t want to hear God ask you, “What did you just pray?”

What a full and life changing two weeks Bonnie and I have had.
Our daughter and grandsons are now living in Independence and our lives are more active and full than ever.
God is a faithful God in all situations and in all life changing events. He has been proven over and over again of his sustaining power.
We have had exciting services at Eastpoint. New faces and great testimonies and God’s love.
This Saturday is our block party. We are so ready to reach our community.
Sunday my sermon is titled “Dry Bones”. I can’t wait to preach it. You have to come
and be apart of Eastpoint Family Church. We truly are a family wanting more people to come and share what God can do for you. There is room for YOU.
Our Sunday evenings have been so refreshing. Just resting God’s presence is something that can not be experienced just anywhere.
See you Sunday!!
“This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it”
