18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
Membership Class
In a low-commitment culture, there is something powerful about making a commitment to Christ and His people by belonging to a local church. A deeply rooted community of believers who are on-mission together is something we want FOR YOU and it exists beyond our four walls on Sunday morning. We believe church is not a building…but a family. And you’re invited.
This class will be held on Sunday’s, January 29, February 5, 12, 19 and 26 from 11:30am – 2pm and will include lunch each week. If needed, childcare is provided. Please contact Dee, dee.carver@eatoncommunitychurch.org to register or for more information.

New Worship Format
The Elders and Pastor Dan have made a decision on the proposal presented in November. We will move forward with this new format of one Sunday Morning Worship Gathering at 10am, beginning January 1, 2023.

Paul in Ephesians address the church about God’s purposes. He says in chapter 4 verses 1 thru 6: “1) As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2) Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3) Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4) There is one body and one Spirit- just as you were called to one hope when you were called- 5) one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6) one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
This is the desire of your leadership. Thank you all for your help in making this decision. If you have questions, please feel free to speak to one of the elders or pastors.
