WELCOME to East Fairview Church!  Thanks for being our guest today!  We’re glad you’re here and hope you feel a warm welcome among us.  Now, relax and worship…you’re among friends.  We hope our fellowship, singing, prayers, and study of God’s Word will all be a blessing to God and an encouragement to you.  

The offering is a weekly opportunity for our members and regular  attendees to give back to God and support the ministry of East Fairview Church.  Guests are not obligated to give, but please record your visit in the black attendance folder located in your row. 

The church nursery (which is available for children up to age 4) is located in the main hallway, past the restrooms, on the left.  Please feel free to entrust your children to us for this hour. Children’s bulletins and other resources are available on the Children’s shelf in the back corner of the sanctuary.
