This Issue

E ast Union B apt i st C hur c h

The next three months brings us three major holidays. First is Halloween which makes its

appearance in October each year. This is not a major Christian holiday, nor should it be, but I am

told that it is the second most lucrative economic holiday in the USA. It is only surpassed by

Christmas. This is simply amazing to me that we spend so much on ghost and goblins at this time

of year. The next is Thanksgiving when as a nation we celebrate our thanks to God. Then finally

comes most people’s favorite holiday, Christmas. I love the difference in the air during Christmas.

Do you realize that every day is a day of celebration for us as believers? Listen to what the Psalmist said in

Psalms 118:24 NKJV “This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.”

What makes each day a celebration? It becomes a time to celebrate when we realize that each day is a gift

from the Creator of the universe. It is a personal gift given to each of us as individuals. When we realize each

day as a gift from God, it makes it special.

Now let’s set the verse in its historic context. Psalms 118:22-23 NKJV “The stone which the builders re-

jected Has become the chief cornerstone. 23 This was the LORD's doing; It is marvelous in our eyes.” The

day spoken of here certainly can be each day in the life of a believer, but it is also talking about a specific day

when Jesus came to town in Jerusalem to be sacrificed for our sins. Another reason we can rejoice and celebrate

each day is that we have a Savior. We should thank God that He has given our hearts the revelation of the truth about Him and that He is the

Creator of each day. Most of the world does not know this and therefore does not celebrate each day the way we

can. So let’s go celebrate today and tomorrow and not wait for those holidays.

Every day is a holiday for believers!

EUBC CHILDREN”S CORNER

Dear EUBC Friends:

Welcome to our new children:

Kiley Renay Rader, daughter of Ashton Rader

& Crissi Hunt

June Cassidy Cossitt, daughter of Matt & Meredith

Cossitt

Ramsey Elizabeth Hopper, daughter of Murray & Sarah

Hopper

Leo Jack Springer, son of Kyle & Jennifer Springer

This month our theme is about friends. When we be-

gin a new school year, we meet many new friends. Our

preschoolers learn to love everyone because Christ first

loved us. They plan and learn together. The 4 & 5 year

olds spend time together learning about kindergarten

readiness. We are also enjoying the beautiful fall

weather and the children are excited about fall fun parties

and the annual “EUBC Fall Festival”. What a blessing it

is to love and teach children - God’s gift to us!

Theme: Friendship

Memory Verse: “Let the little children come to me”.

Mark 10:14

Love in Christ,

Ms. Sandra

AWANA

5:00 pm!!! Awana is still alive and well at EUBC!

Doris and I have heard many good things about

the AWANA mission trip to the Dutch Garden

Center. Thank you all for going. This is God’s word

in action. Look for more mission projects to come.

Here is our verse for October, “Do not merely

listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do

what it says.” James 1:22.

Work on your verses, but more importantly, let’s

live ’em!!

See you at AWANA!

Love you all,

Jimmy & Doris




please let either Bro. Edgar or the office know.

News update from Michael:

October is a month that builds toward Halloween. At

EUBC that means our Fall Festival. This is always a

wonderful time to show off our church and creativity.

We usually welcome over 200 families from the commu-

nity.

The theme this year for Trunk-or-Treat is Old Testa-

ment characters or Bible stories. Feel free to be as crea-

tive as you want within this broad category. As usual, we

will begin collecting candy ASAP! If you would like to

make a donation of candy, please see Michael or just

drop it by the office. Door prizes are welcome, too!

The children, AWANA, and WMU will be promoting

Operation Christmas Child during the month of October.

Collections will begin in November. We are shooting for

150 boxes or more this year, so the earlier, the better.

Please see Michael, or Linda Holloman or the church

“Old Testament Characters & Bible Stories”

Music Notes from Zack!

Hello Everyone:

As we barrel toward Christmas, we are work-

ing hard on our Christmas Cantata: “A Christmas

Offering”. As a choir, we are excited to present it

to our congregation and our audience of one, The

Lord. It is not too late to join us! We always go

back over songs we have already covered and

advance to new ones!

I am still looking for a female voice part. The

job is simple: read the text at the correct time in

the presentation! Please see me if you are inter-

ested.

I cannot stress enough how much I need peo-

ple at practice. It is hard to move on without

many people there. We look forward to the next

few months and can’t wait for you to hear it.

Remember to worship the Lord in all things,

not just singing. I end with this verse from

Psalms 86:9-10.

“All nations whom You have made shall come

and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glo-

rify Your name. For You are great and do won-

drous things; You alone are God.”

One day every knee will bow and every

tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!

What comfort we have in knowing this.

God bless. Zack

your children during the changing of the seasons that God has created a world for us to enjoy?

Do you teach your children how to care for God’s creation?

Do you take time to gather leaves and talk about the colors and differences in the trees?

Take time this fall to enjoy your family and talk about God’s beautiful world.
