GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEWS

Throughout history, we, the Church of Jesus Christ are said to be living in the “eighth day” of creation--proclaiming our risen Lord with hope, joy, and conviction until he returns. Eastridge is a part of the PC(USA) denomination. We are connected to other Presbyterians not only in Lincoln or Homestead Presbytery, but with Presbyterian throughout the USA. Every two years Presbyterians come together for General Assembly. (GA)

I encourage you to go to www.GA2008.com for news and commentary related to the 218th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), which will meet June 21-28, 2008, in San Jose, CA. This site is interactive. You will find various “polls” (make sure to vote over at the right and tell everyone what you think will be the most important issue at G.A.). And you can offer your own comments on any item of business facing the Assembly (find the item on this site and scroll to the bottom of that page). And in the future, you and others can share your opinions via “letters to the editor.”

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

Beach Party was a splash and all had great fun! VBS overflowed with fun for the kids. Everyone learned to surf on the turf and surf through God's word, came to know Jesus, and develop new Beach Be- Attitudes: Be Obedient, Be Kind, Be Forgiving, Be Bold, and Believe! Each lesson was supported with bible stories, science activities, songs, crafts and games.

There was between 120 - 130 children who took part in VBS daily and 80 - 90 youth and adult teaches and helpers. Thank you for the donated snack items, mission items and money.
A BIG thanks to the Eastridge Men's group for the lunches and ice cream they served. Approximately $1.785 was raised. Well done everyone!

Pastors Blog
The year 2007 was filled with opportunity and the enjoyment of our labors. Looking back to a capital campaign that championed the idea of “Building the Future Today” we are enjoying some of the future, today. The McCracken Center offers a beautiful entrance to our facilities and a large space for people to meet and build friendships. The sanctuary graced with a new stained glass window in memory of Gary Welch now offers flexibility and a musical sound that was not present when the front of the sanctuary was carpeted. The sign out on 56th Street given in memory of Jim Van Horn welcomes the Lincoln community to so many events and to worship. And have you simply relaxed and a read a book sitting on the couch in the Moats’ Reading Room? Though we, ourselves, have been blessed in so many ways during 2007, our mission work continues. March Missionary Madness only scratched the surface of the many ways in which the Eastridge family shares the love of God with others. Our “Made to Worship” DVD presenting a five minute view of Eastridge worship, mission, music and Christian education is something that each member can distribute to family and friends inviting them to be a part of the great things taking place at Eastridge.
