Eastwood Church of Christ

The Youth visitation over the past few months has been quite successful to say the least. “I’ve never done anything like this before.” Says Steven Muns, new comer to the youth group. “My old youth group never did anything like that.” Not only were we able to visit several of our shut-ins, we were able to visit Mr. James Holden, who passed away shortly after the visit. “I know it made him very happy, I hadn’t seen his face light up in a long time.” Said Fallyn Bevis, Mr. Holden’s great granddaughter. Overall, the first few visitation meetings have proved to be a fun time of fellowship and happiness for all, and the youth group, along with others who participated, were able to bring happiness to those who aren’t always able to attend worship.

Another fun youth activity–CYC 2008. As many of the congregation knows, we have attended CYC (or Challenge Youth Conference) for the past four years.  This year we had one baptism. Celeste Compton was baptized into Christ on Saturday, February 23rd, by our youth minister, Justin Pannell. We are all glad that Celeste decided to give her life to the Lord.

And, on a final note: Our young men are currently  taking part in our gospel meeting, which will end tomorrow night. Sunday morning, Tyler Darby and Tyler Huggins gave their sermons, and Sunday evening, Tyler Lard, Cody Darby, and Patrick O’Byrne had their opportunity to evangelize. From Monday to Wednesday, the young men from the Mars Hill Preacher’s Club will present sermons. They all need to be commended for their hard work, determination, and motivation in presenting the gospel.
