July 12 - August 22
The Summer Session - 6 weeks
Get Ready! Get Ready! Get Ready! Small Groups are H.O.T. Healthy ~ Open ~ Transformational!
We have some dynamic Small Groups gearing up just for you. Keep an ear to ground and get ready to sign up for "EXPRESS" the Summer Session. If you are considering leading or if you have an idea for a Small Group, complete a Small Group interest card and join us on June 6th from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. in Vaden Hall for the Small Group Training session. In order for us to properly prepare for all in attendance, please send an email indicating your intent to participate to smallgroups@efbchurch.org or contact Sister Dolores Parran (443) 404-1214 by Thursday, June 4th. Why Small Groups: Small Groups have one, simple purpose: to bring people together. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us. Sharing life through community is part of our design, but meaningful relationships aren't always easy to find. That's why small groups exist - to make these life-changing relationships relevant and accessible to you! |

Saturday, August 29
Our Community
8:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
East Friendship's
SERVE
Day will take place on August 29, 2015.
SERVE
Day is an opportunity to bless others and be blessed. East Friendship lives up to its motto "A Community Church, Making a World of Difference" so going out to
SERVE
is something that we already do! The expectation is to have the entire Church get involved along with members of the community. We would also like to invite other neighborhood churches to partner with us.
August 29, was chosen as our
SERVE
Day because it falls on the 5th Saturday before the Worship Without Walls Sunday, which is always held on the 5th Sunday. We had three tent services in the last three years and each time the experience have grown progressively better. So we expect the
SERVE
weekend to be even greater. Remember, the most important part of
SERVE
Day is loving people and helping them move one step toward God.
East Friendship is a part of the
GROW
Community. Grow is a resource partnership, training process and support system with the Church of the Highlands. The Church of the Highlands is located in Birmingham, Alabama under the leadership of Chris Hodge and has over 700 hundred partner churches. Their aspiration is to supply our church with everything we need to succeed and meet our goals as a leaders and as a church. There is so much to do in our community, the project ideas are limitless.
WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
On this Sunday, you will learn and hear more about this great opportunity, so come ready to
SERVE
!
