A Beautiful, Flourishing Palm Tree
Psalm 92 was the appointed reading for the day and I smiled as I read the last verses. Gloria Staley went home to Jesus in the wee hours last Saturday morning and I testify that these words fit her well. The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; […]

New Difference Makers
Hi friends! I’m back from several weeks of summer travels. With Fall schedule right around the corner, I returned to discover I was wrong. For some time, I have been saying that if every parent helps either in Awana or once a month in weekend Nursery or Children’s Ministry that all our help needs will be […]

Committing to Prayer
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in […]

Frustratedly, I worked my way through a photography class (I certainly didn’t know that photography would be so hard), and a drawing class without much success in either. It seemed that, despite my focus and efforts, I […]

Yet, at the same time, the church in America has continued to decline and our nation has become more and […]

The Bell Strikes Again
Last Saturday night’s worship service included a delightful little story God has been writing for over a century. It began in 1892 with the forging of 425-pound cast steel alloy bell. Bells such as these were standard equipment for schools and churches in those days, and this one was apparently purchased out of the 1895 Montgomery […]

Love Works
The past two weeks have been a wonderful break from my normal routines. One was a vacation week, but several friends argued it wasn’t a vacation because I was working at the church nearly every day. However, I could make a compelling argument that both weeks were vacation, at least, a vacation from my norm. Every day I put […]

A New Ministry Partnership
We would like to introduce you to one of our members whom many of you have never met. Her name is Amy Wiley. Amy is in her late 20s and began to attend EBC in 2010. She was the head of our deaf interpretation ministry for some time, but she has debilitating health problems, making it so […]
