Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.  Amen

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.

ATTENTION! I know, summer only started and already I’m asking you to think about the fall!  But, if you would please humor me and just for a minute think about, oh let’s say…..like around the middle of Oct.  As you probably know, we didn’t have a bell choir last year because we didn’t have enough ringers.  So, I’d like to once again encourage and invite anyone who thinks they might be interested in playing with the bell choir, to contact Sally Young.  Some knowledge of music, (being able to count a measure and reading the notes), would be helpful.  Practice time would be Monday nights from 6:15 – 7:15 and then play about once a month in the Adoration Service from Oct – May.  We strive to have a good time fellowshipping with one another while growing our spiritual and  musical selves playing music that honors our Lord.  If you are interested, or think you might be interested  but need a little encouragement, please contact Sally at 665-5550 or youngsally@dejazzd.com
