Commitments

Fall seems to be a season when many regular commitments are resumed and new commitments are assumed. With Summer days all but coming to a screeching halt, September 1 can be more of a transition date than January 1.

One commitment I’d encourage you to make with me this Fall is to join a Small Group at Eastmont that will be studying a series entitled “When God’s People Pray.” The commitment is to meet with your group once per week, for 6 weeks, and to make a $10 purchase of the accompanying workbook/journal for prayer. My wife and I reviewed this study in late Spring and we believe this could enhance our growth in Christ as a church and our effectiveness in serving Him in Bend. Plus, I can think of no more crucial activity for people to be learning about and engaged in during a busy season than prayer. The study will cover six topics Biblically, including “God’s Heart for Us,” “The Amazing Power of Prayer,” “The Word of God and Prayer,” and “Why Prayer Matters.” The time frame is September 19 – October 25.

Be sure to sign up for a Small Group in our foyer on the weekend if you’re not currently in a group or call Craig Soderquist at 382-5822 x 31. If you are in a group, be especially committed to meet, study, and . . . pray with your group during this special Fall emphasis.

This commitment will be worth it.
