Thursdays during Lent | March 14 – April 11

More than just six weeks of going without social media or sweets, Lent is a season of repentance and preparation. We fast in order to expose our false attachments and increase our longing for the only one who can fulfill our greatest desires. Join us for a weekly Lenten service of worship and prayer, in which we’ll explore themes of lament, injustice, and brokenness, and together anticipate Christ’s death and resurrection – God’s plan of redemption for all of Creation.

Led by Joseph Wimer with other guests.

Julie Jaderston will share on allowing God to bring us to a place where we not only survive but thrive. The weekend includes delicious food, crafts, small groups and community, with worship led by Katherine Holmgren. Register by March 20.

Senior high students and adult seniors will have a Sunday morning brunch with a great time of community, games, testimonies and more. Join us to connect with the next generation! Free event. RSVP to Ginger by April 1.

Recently Eastminster’s own Michael Bankston returned from a trip to Africa with partner Al Ewert of The Urban Ministry Institute. TUMI trains and equips local pastors in a seminary-level education in order to plant local churches and disciple leaders. This training is having an incredible impact on the African church, which is rapidly reproducing. Come and hear Michael and Al share about their experience with the churches in Africa and how God is using the TUMI program to spread the gospel there.

At Eastminster, one of our values is generation to generation. Because we believe in a vibrant, multigenerational church who learns from one another, we want to provide the opportunity to gather, connect and simply be together. The Gathering is a one-time dinner for a small group of people hosted in a home. Those in the group may be in the same or different life stage as you, and the evening will be one of conversation and connection. Your host will provide a main dish – just bring a side to share. Your host will contact you with more details closer to the event. Registration deadline: April 3

Our three Sunday services will be held at their usual times (8, 9:30 and 11 a.m.) as we celebrate the beginning of Holy Week.
