SERVE WEEK - Make a Difference!

admin 2020.03.04 19:48 Views : 51

Eastside's Serve Week is March 21st-28th!      

Team up and make a difference with everyday heroes in our community!  
Eastside’s local partners are everyday heroes who invest and dedicate their careers to service. Join us this Serve Week to be part of writing a story of hope and wholeness alongside them. We are ready with diverse opportunities for you, your small group, and your family to serve together.

 

Wondering what opportunities may look like? Here’s a sneak peek…

  • Show up and serve side by side with other Eastsiders to beautify facilities, host events and build person to person connections.

  • Mobilize your people to fill gaps by assembling kits for those facing needs and appreciation gifts for everyday heroes.

  • Invest time and attend information sessions/trainings to learn about important causes and how you can be a part of the solution.

  • Already serving or inspired to do something you don’t see? Create your own project!

 

God is on the move in our communities--join the movement this Serve Week!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1 ~ 3)

God A holy (without sin), spiritual being, all-knowing, everywhere present, eternally existent in three distinct personalities – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – one God (Exodus 3:14-15, John 4:24, Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-2).

  Jesus Christ Jesus became “God in the flesh.” He was born through the miracle of a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, was crucified and died a physical death as atonement for our sins, and was physically resurrected from the grave. (Matthew 1:18-25, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8) He will return in bodily form as Lord of the universe, to gather his followers and judge those who have rejected him (Acts 1:9-11, Hebrews 9:27-28).

  The Holy Spirit Lives within those who believe in Jesus Christ as Comforter and Advocate, and helps us become more like Jesus in thought, word, actions, and character (John 16:5-15).

  Sin Men and women were created in the image of God but are now separated from God by sin (Romans 5:12-21).

  Salvation Faith (belief and trust) in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross is the only way to be reconciled with God (Acts 4:8-12). Salvation cannot be earned; it is offered through Jesus based on grace, not merit. What we couldn’t do for ourselves (reconcile with God), Jesus did through his death on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). God lovingly offers salvation to every person, and every person has the freedom to accept or reject this gift at any time (John 3:16-18). Faith requires repentance (conforming our lifestyle to Christ’s), and results in obedience. Baptism by immersion demonstrates a pledge of our willingness to live for Him (Acts 8:26-38, Romans 6:1-4).

  The Bible The Bible is inspired by God and is therefore without error or contradiction, and is the sole authority for faith and practice. All our beliefs come from the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-16, 2 Peter 3:15-16).

  The Church The Church of Jesus Christ is not limited to any one institution or denomination; it consists of all who have trusted Jesus Christ for the redemption of their sins. Eastside is therefore but one part of the greater Church (1 Corinthians 12:12-17).
