Church Family,
This morning (Nov 1, 2026) we will be recognizing Joseph (Joey) Polkey. He is the young man who has played the trumpet for our services for quite some time. Joey graduated from high school this year and has just received a “moved up” date to leave this week for the Marines. Please keep him in your prayers as he begins this next phase of his life’s journey. Should you wish to bring him a card, we will have a basket on the communion table.. Also, please be praying for Joey’s grandmother as she battles cancer.
This coming Friday, November 6th is our 1st Senior Saints meeting of the fall. The theme is-
“The Longer I Serve Him” and we will meet at 11:30 for lunch with singing and a devotion to follow. Please plan to join us, and bring a dish to share for the meal.
REMINDER– Special Music, Sunday November15th by Ricky Atkinson and Compassion. We look forward to having these folks with us soon!
THANKSGIVING PRAISE SERVICE- Our annual meal and praise service will take place on Wednesday, November 25th, beginning at 6:30 pm. Bring a dish to share and enjoy the meal and the testimonies of the blessings of God in our lives.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-
We have changed the date and theme of the Fall Festival to Saturday, December 12, with the changed theme of “Christmas Village.” The format will be the same as our Fall Festivals with games, bounce house, hot dogs and chili, Christmas cookie decorating, and all kinds of fun activities. As always, we will ask our people to decorate with Bible based themes for your games and decorating, and we need all who will do so, to please participate in this special event. We want this event to be an outreach to those in our community. We will open the event at 4:00 p.m. and end by 8:00 pm.
“The Love of God at Christmas” will be presented by the church choir on Sunday evening, December 13 at 6:00 p.m. and the Candlelight Service will be December 24th at 7:00 pm.
We are looking forward to a great season of the year. We are continuing the work on the Pidgin Scriptures with nearly 50,000 of the 110,000 completed. These will be shipped out after the 1st of the year going to Papua New Guinea. Once these are completed, we will be on the “home stretch” of reaching the next milestone of 5 million Scriptures. To God be the glory, great things He hath done! It is exciting to give and to serve in the work of God at Eastern Avenue Baptist Church. We invite you to be a part of it all.
