The Struggle Seems Unfair
Have you ever felt like you’re doing everything you’re supposed to be doing, you’re doing everything the right way, and you’re still struggling?

King to King
I think that I’d always gotten the impression that it was sinful for the Israelites to ask for a king. We certainly get that impression from 1 Samuel chapter 8.
Hang on to the Glory!
There’s just something about mountains that inspires awe. I don’t know if it’s the height or the way they lift our eyes to the sky, but there’s something about mountains.
The Hidden Glory of Suffering
How long is your rope? Where do your wits end? How high is it, “up to here?” How far down is your rock bottom? No matter who you are, you’ve felt frustrated from time to time.
Lenten Services
Check out our plan for Lenten services this year.
The Hidden Glory of Repentance
Of all the miracles recorded in the Bible, which one is the greatest? That’s kind of an unanswerable question, isn’t it? It’s like debating the greatest world leader of all time or the greatest invention of all time. There’s really not a right answer. Some could argue the day when the sun “stood still,” others when Moses parted the Red Sea, still others the raising of Lazarus from the dead. We could keep listing miracles until the cows come home, but we’re never going to get a definitive answer.
Eastside Lutheran Childcare
We would like to take this opportunity to share some exciting things that are happening in our preschool. We are approaching a record setting enrollment for this school year!
Welcome Home Sunday
You are invited to our Welcome Home Sunday on October 27th, at 10:00am.
There’s something about home. Home is where you relax after a long day of work. Home is where you can let your hair down, because you know the people there will love you, even with your quirks and flaws. Home is where you feel most safe, in a world which is anything but.
Jesus intended for his church to be more than a school where we learn about God’s Word. He intended it to be more than a cathedral where we praise our Creator. Jesus intended for church to be a home, a place where we gather with Christian family and enjoy all the blessings of home.
On October 27th, we are celebrating Welcome Home Sunday. We will talk about the importance of having the support of a Christian community. One major goal for this Sunday? We want to have 100% of our members in attendance. Let’s pack the house! Let’s see what that looks like, when every member comes together. Please do everything possible to set that date aside so you can join your brothers and sisters in Christ. We will have just one service at 10:00am which will followed by food and a band outside on our church parking lot and lawn.
