Welcome!
We’re so grateful you’re joining in today. Your presence here matters, and you matter to us. If this is your first time here, we’d love to have you take a moment to fill out our connection card. That lets us learn a little about you, and we’ll send you some information (as well as a little gift to thank you being here) so you can learn more about us. We believe a relationship with Jesus is the best choice you could ever make, and we invite you to get to know Him – and us – a little better today.
Announcements:
Bosnia Team Fundraiser
Our Short-Term Bosnia team is preparing for their July trip to serve with our global partners in Bosnia & Herzegovina! Please pray for them and consider supporting them with a financial gift! During the month of March, you’ll find decorated envelopes numbered 1-100 in the foyer at East Hills. Inside each envelope, you’ll find a note to help you pray for the team and an offering envelope that you can fill with the amount of money that corresponds to the number you picked! Just mark your financial gift “Bosnia Short-Term Team” and place it in the offering box at East Hills or give online at www.easthills.org/give. Take the decorated envelope home to remind you to pray for the team!
You’ll be supporting the team as they lead youth and young adult workshops, minister to Bosnian people in their homes, and encourage our global partners and Bosnian believers in local churches.
