This past week we welcomed Scooter Kellum as our Interim Youth Minister. Scooter is a State Missionary for the Alabama State Board of Missions and serves as the youth ministry strategist. Scooter and his wife, Chelsea, have three children; Trip, Will and Abby. They are members of Taylor Road Baptist Church. We are excited that they are with us and as you saw this past Sunday in our worship service, there is excitement in our youth ministry about his coming. Join me in welcoming Scooter and his family to Eastern Hills.
Scooter Kellum will bring our devotion this Sunday, November 19, as we meet for Eastern Hills Family Fellowship at Sweet Creek. Join us at Sweet Creek Farm Market for a time of fellowship and fun. The café will be open for those who wish to purchase food or their famous ice cream. We will be at Sweet Creek Sunday from 4-6:00 pm. Don’t miss the fun!
Tuesday night before Thanksgiving is a special time at Eastern Hills. It is our Annual Harvest Banquet and Praise Service. Families are encouraged to join us for a meal in the gym at 5:00 pm. Be sure your dinner reservation has been made. Our service will begin at 6:15 pm in the Sanctuary with Dr. Dale Huff bringing the message.
Thank you for your vote and your support as we adopted our 2018 church budget. Our Stewardship Committee has worked very hard to present a budget that will be challenging yet realistic. Let me remind you that this budget represents the funds that will support all of our facilities, our staff, and the ministries of our church. As we voted to adopt this budget it is now time to make a commitment to support it with your tithes and offerings. During this interim time, it is important that we are faithful to what God has called us to do as we reach out to this community.
I invite you to visit the Nativity Village in our vestibule. Greg Gosselin, and a host of others have worked hard to make this a presentation that will remind us that the Birth of Christ is central in the Christmas season.
