“Sailboat Church” Sunday School

Every Sunday in September (5, 12, 19, 26), Rev. Templeton will be using scripture as she looks at the “Sailboat Church,” by Joan S. Gray. After each worship time, we will gather as adults and youth to discuss that Sunday’s emphasis. All are invited to stay and join in conversation with us, led by various Elders of Session. Those who cannot join in person are welcome to watch and listen as we plan to stream the sessions on Facebook. The book focuses on helping churches to rethink their mission and practice, letting the Holy Spirit guide them along their journey.

EASTMINSTER CONFIRMATION CLASS MISSION PROJECT

Our Eastminster Confirmation class has chosen to create Blessing Bags for our hard-working hospital staff. But we need your help! Would you be willing to donate cases of bottled water, individually wrapped sweet and salty snacks, and gallon size Ziploc bags? We will also gladly accept monetary donations to purchase supplies. Our Confirmation class will gather and put all these together so we can share the Love of God with all who are working so hard! We will collect items for the next two Sundays. You can also drop them off Monday-Thursday between 9-12 at the church office. Thank you for your prayers and support for our Confirmation class!

FOOD DRIVE

Thank you to everyone who donated to our Summer Food Drive! We collected over 2000 items that will be given to United Ministries and the Center for Community Services.
