Since Pastor’s message series “Taking It To The Next Level”, we have several Eastpointer’s expanding their ministry to the next level.

Our church is growing because the word is getting out about what is happening at Eastpoint.

February 14, Cynthia Sumner will be speaking in the Sunday Am service.
We are calling this a Love Feast Day with a catered dinner following the service.

Cynthia has a precious anointed word to share. Her husband, Larry, had a
horrible car accident, which some had left him for dead. Because of her persistent interceding prayer for her husband, God brought them through trial after trial. Please plan to be with us for this special service.

The Spirit of God is demonstrated in every service and we welcome you to enjoy His presence with us.

See you this Sunday!

Sunday, January 24, Pastor is preaching on taking us to the next level in our performance in life with Christ.
Hebrews 6:1 “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death and of faith in God”.

Sunday evening has been a blessing to go through the book of Ephesians. His Sermon series “Doing life with God” Ephesians 2:11-12 will be the passage taught on this Sunday PM Service.

Our praise and worship is wonderful in both service. The PM Service is led by our youth and they are excited and encourage us to worship.

Come join us in both services. It is only about four hours of your time on Sunday. It is just a little compared to what we expect from HIM.

Well, shall we ask ourselves are we enjoying this cold, snowy, arctic weather?

Even though it is bitter cold outside, it is warm with God’s presence in Eastpoint!

Pastor is preaching an illustrated sermon on”The Narrow Road”
Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.”

“What gate are you going to take”?

Most of us have to get to go to work through the week, let us make a concerted effort to come to God’s house to give Him our time.

What the New Year brings us depends a great deal on what we bring to the New Year.

See you Sunday!

Last Sunday was one of the most memorable Sundays in the history of Eastpoint Family Church. Our Carols, Candles and Communion service was precious and God’s sweet presence was imminent. Our dinner following was such a wonderful time of fellowship. Our seniors enjoyed receiving beautifully wrapped gifts. Our children were lavished with toys from Toys for Tots.

This Sunday, I will be speaking on the “The Solitude of Jesus”. Referring to the scripture Luke 6:12-13 as follows:
“Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself, and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles.”

Come join us for service this Sunday.

December 31, we will have the church doors open for a prayer service at 2:00pm. Come and pray the New Year in!

Merry Christmas and Bonnie and I are praying the Lord will richly bless you during this holiday season and into the new year.

Pastor Claude

Christmas Treasures


Do you remember wanting that one gift that was absolutely necessary to have for Christmas? You wrote Santa Claus about it, you repeatedly told your parents of your desire to have such a treasured gift, and you may have even told your friends of your soon arriving gift. You would have done, or given, anything to have that gift within your hands on Christmas morning. To not have that gift within your possession on Christmas would almost certainly have meant complete disappointment. How could no one have heard you talk about that gift? You wrote to Santa, you told your parents, you even shared with your friends that it would be yours—and they were welcome to come over and play.

Believe it or not, God has a treasure that He greatly desires. He has let it be known that He wants this gift; He has written about it, He has told those around Him that He wants this gift, and He is willing to give up anything for this gift (and has). Do you know what this gift is? It is YOU!

All through the Bible, God has passionately sought after us—not just mankind in general, but as individuals. He is intent on having us with Him for all eternity. The angels in heaven know of His desire to spend eternity with us. In fact, on numerous occasions, God has sent them to us to deliver the important message concerning His love and longing for us. This message has also taken on the form of man, when Jesus Christ was born. God gave up a part of Himself for us. He, holy and perfect, left the glory of heaven to come to a filthy, dirty, evil world and live among us. Then, He allowed us to bind, beat, and murder Him. But, He did this so that we would learn from His teachings and receive eternal life from His death and resurrection—the power behind all that He has given us.

God desires you; even more than that, He treasures you. He wants nothing more than to spend time with you now, and in the future. Like a parent wanting to talk with a child, God wants to talk and spend time with you. He does this through the reading of His Word and through quiet time in prayer. The creator of the universe wants to spend time with you! What is the only thing that can inhibit this time? You. Don’t allow your wants to interfere with your relationship with God. He has paid an insurmountable price to spend time with you; recognize the value He has placed on you and let yourself be loved. One last thought—God has placed this value on every human being. Don’t believe me, check out John 3:16.

Remember to thank God for his ultimate Gift and have a Merry Christmas!

Christmas is a special time. Eastpoint is decorated and seasoned for a beautiful Christmas.

This Sunday, Pastor Claude's sermon is titled “Our Mighty God”.
“For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace”. Isaiah 9:6

December 20, we will be having Carols, Candles and Communion. This is always a special service.

God is answering prayer for many of our Eastpointers. We are hearing testimony after testimony of how God is providing, healing and restoring.

Come join us to celebrate Christ’s birth
