What a Great Mother’s Day service we had at Eastpoint Family Church last Sunday. Our Eastpoint men prepared a wonderful breakfast for the ladies, and the ladies stayed out of the kitchen!
Pastor shared from II Samuel 21:1-14. This Bible story refers to a mother names Rizpah. Quite frankly, I had can remember reading about this mother. This godly mother loved your son, protected him and sacrificed for him. Sounds like us moms of today, doesn’t it?
Moms take time to read 1Cor 13: 4-7.
Love is Patient.
Love is also Kind.
Love is not rude/doesn’t act unbecomingly
Love keeps no records of wrong
Love rejoices in Truth
Love believes all things.
Well, one week later, the Mother’s Day sermon is good to be refreshed in my spirit.
This Sunday is a great occasion. We are honoring our graduates with a Baccalaureate Service.
Pastor’s sermon is titled “Pursuing Your Dreams”
We all have had dreams and we all been disappointed when some do not come to past.
He will speak from Genesis 37 referring to Jacob’s youngest son. Joseph. Joseph was a good boy and was loved by his father. His father showed special favoritism to Joseph and his bothers became jealous.
God gave Joseph some dreams, and unfortunately Joseph shared them with his bothers.
Come Sunday and see how Pastor will share with us who to share are dreams with and what dreams to we pursue .
We have an exciting church and we want you to be a part of it!

DO YOUR WANT YOUR NAME CHANGED
TOP of the morning to you!
I guess I am still feeling a little English after watching last week's gala event of Prince Harry and Dutchess Katherine's wedding.
What a beautiful occassion. I started to think how Dutchess Katherine's position was not only changed as a single person to married , but as a Dutchess to a Princess. All just by connecting herself by marriage and committing to be one in marriage.
This reminded me when I connected myself to Pastor Claude in marriage and committed my life to be his loving companion forever. I loved having my name changed from Ms. to Mrs.
The most important commintment I ever made , was when I commented my life to Christ.
My name was changed from "sinner" to "a child of the King".
Angels were rejoicing in heaven. For when a sinner comes to Christ, heaven has a joyous celebration.
Not only was my name changed, my life was changed, and my destiny was headed to a heavenly eternity.
Has your name been changed? Have you been changed from "sinner" to " A child of King Jesus"?
If not, you can be liberated by saying a simple prayer of salvation. Repeat, this prayer.
"Jesus come and live in my heart forever and forgive me from my sin"
With that simple prayer, your name has been changed and you are a believer of Christ.
If you do not have a church home, where you can learn more about God's love, then FIND one.
We would love to have you at Eastpoint Family Church, where people love God and love other people. Come join us.

Are You Dull?
Several times in the course of the day, I’ll reach over to my wedding ring and feel it, twist it, and think about who it represents. When we were first married, a waiter commented on how shiny our rings were. The more I thought about his comment, the more I thought about the years to come, and the dullness seen on my grandparent’s and parent’s rings. My grandfather’s ring was a thin ring of gold that had long lost its luster, but it never misplaced his ring finger and symbolized over 60-plus years of marriage. It made me want to strive to achieve dullness in our lives as a couple, also.
The other day I felt a small nick in the outer band. At first, I was a little disheartened. Something that I treasure, something that I will never give up had a defect on it. Then I thought about it for a few more seconds. That nick represented time—hard times, good times, times that can’t be repeated and times that are yet to be. Soon, that defect became a badge of honor and accomplishment. In fact, I find myself looking for it whenever I feel my ring now.
Then I thought about it some more. What else is considered extremely precious and is flawed; becoming more flawed with the progression of time. We are. God has created perfect imperfections when He created mankind. We all have nicks, faults, and things that make us unlovable—maybe even despised by human standards. But God looks at us with eyes of love and Fatherly pride. There is nothing He wouldn’t do for His children. He even says so in Psalms, the Gospels, and the Epistles. So when you do or say something that you would consider unforgivable, go to God with it and confess it. He loves us so much and has given more than we can ever imagine (the death and resurrection of Jesus), that He will readily forgive us. Our job is to know and remember how much He loves us and try our best to not repeat those things of which we have confessed. This is one of the ways we can show God how much we love Him. Let yourself become dull; there’s no greater display of love than longevity.
