Nursery News:
A nursery is available for children from birth through pre-K from 9:45am-12:15pm on Sunday mornings. Children are welcome to worship with their families until the Time for All Children when they are escorted to the nursery for a Bible story and song. In addition to our nursery attendant, all nursery volunteers are background checked and have been trained on the church’s Safe Place policy. Contact Megan Koon with questions (megan@eastminster.com)
Rooted and Relevant
What does it mean to be in community with one another? What does it look like to build faith-filled relationships in a world where we don’t always agree? How can thoughtful conversation really make an impact on the issues that divide us? How can a Gamecock and a Tiger unite in that holy space where God’s grace and love overcomes all else?
No matter where you land on the political or college football spectrum, we hope that you will join us as we launch our new Rooted and Relevant program. As an upgraded version of the Faith on Tap series from last year, Rooted and Relevant will meet monthly-ish and will include special guests on various topics as well as time and space for guided, intentional discussion.
During this first gathering, we will name our exhaustion and hopes, discuss terms for engaging in thoughtful dialogue, discuss the issue of political polarization and how to combat it, and share about the issues that are of greatest concern to us. The hope of these gatherings is that we will find common ground on the issues that divide us, and maybe even seek to do something about it!
Eastminster is an active church of various ages. We hope you’ll find a place among us. Want to see a glimpse of what we’re like? Check out some photos here to get a sense of who we are – not just a building but a group dedicated to caring for one another and for others.
