This Week at Eastwood 
December 30, 2016
"Purpose Driven Life" Begins Jan. 11
How important is it that we live a life filled with purpose? What drives and motivates you as a Christian as you face the daily challenges of life? Join us on Wednesday nights, beginning January 11, as we experience 40 days of purpose from Rick Warren's book "The Purpose Driven Life". 

This study is scheduled to last for 6 weeks. Cost of the books will be $10. Please contact the church office if you would like to attend the class, and please contact Mark Elam at 706-483-4999 if you have any questions. We need to order books, so we will need to get a head count, so please let us know if you plan to attend.

"Run For God" Returning January 11
Returning this January, just in time for your New Year's resolutions, is our "Run For God" study. This is  a Bible Study and a couch-to-5K program that shows how our faith affects our fitness and our fitness affects our faith.

Youth Winter Retreat Information
Our annual youth Winter Retreat is quickly approaching. In order to plan and prepare a fantastic weekend, we need to know how many students plan to attend.

Cost will be $115/student which includes 3 nights in the cabins, all meals, and a T-shirt. We will ask for an additional cost of $6 for our CiCi's Pizza dinner on Friday evening.

For new youth parents, this event is one of the our favorite events of the year. We have worship in the mornings and evenings, with a speaker sharing a message after each worship session.
