This weekend: 

"Unshakable Foundations" 

  by Scott Taube

 

Luke 6:46-49   

NIV    

   

  

46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?   

 

47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.   

 

48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.   

 

49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

We will be having open houses for parents/guardians of our children here at Eastpoint in the coming weeks. We would like to keep everyone informed about what is happening in Children's Ministry and to keep everyone on the same page as it applies to their children. It is also a great opportunity to meet more of you and get your thoughts and feedback about what's happening now and things we have planned in the future. We have a lot in store for the summer (not just on Sundays) and we are praying that you will help us encourage your children to be a part of as many events as possible. If you can't make it to the following date as it applies to your child please let Brenda or Matt know so we can make other arrangements to get the information we are covering to you.

All open houses begin at 6:30pm
