I woke up yesterday to find our beautiful Bradford tree had been struck by lightning. Now from the trunk to the top, it was laying down in our yard and driveway. This tree is really not ours , it is part of our condo subdivision's, however it shaded our front living space , birds played in it and I liked it. It was a shelter for our bird bath , where the robins bathed. By the way, the bird bath was unshakable and had not been moved one bit.

My first words to my husband were "oh no and WHY my tree". Then I begin to think how silly to ask WHY about a tree, thank the Lord it didn't fall inside our home. But as I was reminded from Pastor's sermon Sunday night, there are times in our lives when the question WHY is very real. The loss of a job, loved one, relationship problems and unexpected illness are WHY's. There no real answers to the WHYS. We as Christians can only believe that God is God and He can help us through the WHY's with His word.

And then there was the bird bath, it was unshakable. Standing firm right in the middle of the storm. I want to stand firm in life's storm and I know I can only do that with God's help.

This Sunday , Pastor will be sharing from 1 Timothy 2. Being July 4th weekend, Pastor will be sharing some patriotic quotes in his sermon. Pastor loves history and sometimes incorporates history quotes in his sermons.

I love these:

In 1777, the Continental Congress voted to spend $300,000 to purchase Bibles for distribution in the nation.

President Ronald Regan states: "If we ever forget that we are "One Nation, under God",. then we will be on a nation gone under."

Come join us Sunday to be a part of something good and exciting!

Wow, what a great Father's Day at Eastpoint Family church last week.

This week pastor is speaking on "Peace in the Storm" Hasn't there been alot of storms all over the US? After a tornado hits, there becomes a calmness and sometimes sunshine appears How can that be after such destruction?

How can you have peace IN THE storm of life? Like divorce, death, unemployment, loneliness, sickness, and not enough money. There has to be an answer. Come Sunday to hear THE ANSWER from God's Word.

In our Children's Sunday School Class, Tai, Alex, and Daiza are earning $1dollar bills. The only requirement is to know your memory verse and bring back the Sunday School paper they learned it from. We feel this confirms the Word of God in their heart and also responsibility. Come bring your children for a Godly experience and fun at Eastpoint.

See you Sunday!

Last Friday, it looked like one of my tires was going flat. Thank goodness it did no
t have a nail in it.It only needed some air in it and rest of the tires needed additional air too. Wow, did it make a difference in the ride.

I begin to think , it is just like when I get low spiritually. The earthly ride gets kind of bumpy.
But when I recharge with God's Word , prayer and being in God's house , I get energized again.

Yesterday at Eastpoint was an energizing day. Pastor proclaimed the word and two people came to find Christ as their Savior. One was a young woman who had just lost her 3 year old son to a tragic accident. She wants to live for Jesus now and one day see her son in heaven

Please come join us on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm for Bible study, prayer, and fun Bible teaching for the children. And Always on Sundays for spirital renewal.

Are you spiritually low? Check your spiritual air gauge.

Life has changes. Birth to death and the inbetween can be uncertain. Some seasons we can be prepared for and others not so prepared. I know that in my own persanal life , without God's word and God's direction I could not make it through all the seasons and changes of life.

That is what you receive at Eastpoint is the God inspired Word teaching.

This Wednesday, pastor is preaching on Mark 14:6 and Sunday looking at Mark 1, continuing speaking on miracles.

We have several people at Eastpoint that need a healing miracle from cancer. We are believing.
Jesus has the power to cure not only physical disease but spiritual affliction was well.

Please come join us to experience they love we have for people and the God's Word.

Well, the world did not come to end last Saturday. However, probably those who survived the tornado in Joplin , Missouri thought their world has come to an end. We must pray for the survivors and all the area cities that have experienced disasters this week.
The Bible states in Ecclesiastes 9:12 “Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come.”and in Luke 12:40 “ You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
This week the news forecasters where telling us to be prepared for a storm, or tornado, or a national disaster.
How can we prepare for Christ’s return? Just ask Him to be your Lord and Saviour and he will forgive you of your sins. “Old things have passed away, behold all things became new.”
Come join this Sunday. Pastor is continuing to speak on Miracles. We had a gentlemen who gave his testimony Sunday. He shared how God’s people had prayed to save his leg from being amputated.
He stood with both legs Sunday, praising God for his miracle. Do you need a miracle?
Come hear the word of God , to increase your faith and to be around people who will love you for who you are.

What is a miracle? Pastor is going to be speaking to us about Miracles this Sunday.

God opened the waters of the Red Sea so the Israelites could walked on draw ground. That was a miracle..

Jesus performed a miracle by turning the water into wine at a wedding.

The widow had a collector come to her house one day to collect her debt. She had no money. Elisha , the prophet told her to have her sons gather every pitcher the could find. When they did, she was to take the small amount of oil that she had and start pouring into all the pitchers. She keep pouring, pouring, and pouring until every pitcher was full. Then she went and sold the oil and that was her provision for as long as she needed for her and her boys. The small amount of oil became her miracle

Do you need a highly, improbable extraordinary event , development , or accomplishment to happen in your life? That’s called a miracle.

God still performs, directs and orchestrates miracles.
Read John 2: 1-11 and come to Eastpoint Sunday ready to hear Pastor’s encouraging and challenging word from God.

Reminiscing and Looking Ahead

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!
