Pioneer Work Bee

August 20  • 8:30 AM

Hello church family! The exterior grounds of our church need some attention. We are planning a church work bee on Sunday, August 20, beginning at 8:30 am. There are many landscaping features that need to be refreshed for the fall and winter to make our church an appealing house of worship. If you have yard tools please bring them, but if you don’t have tools come and help anyway.  We will have some tools available. Your help is greatly appreciated. See you then!

When your spouse is no longer there, old and new friends are. We need one another, no matter how long it's been. The Eau Claire Seventh-day Adventist Church (6562 Naomi Rd., Eau Claire, MI 49111) is inviting ALL widows and widowers as well as your widowed friends in the community to participate in a vegetarian potluck on Sunday, Aug. 20, from 1-3 pm in the Eau Claire Church. So invite your friends and bring a dish to share (salad, entree, vegetable, or dessert). The two events we've had thus far have been wonderful! 

Offering for August 12, 2023

Christian Record Services

Imagine the scene recorded in Mark 10. A huge crowd was following Jesus. Voices buzzed around Him, clamoring for His attention. And then, a desperate shout reached Jesus’ ears (or, perhaps, struck His heart). “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped in His tracks and called out to Bartimaeus. Immediately, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus.
