Welcome to Eternity Church |

From the Pastor February 7, 2010 The Communion of God's People
How many of you miss going to church? I miss church every
time the weather prevents us from gathering together. I miss both the Holy
Communion of the bread and wine in which we participate in Christ Jesus, as well
as the communion of the gathered community.
One simple definition of the church comes to us from Matt 18:20, "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them. The Presence of Jesus is the invitation for us to gather together. Jesus binds us with one another. The closer we are to Jesus Christ, the closer we are to each other.
On Feb 7th we had a Web based service, and the church gathered for worship with songs, prayers, offerings and even Holy Communion. I consecrated the Eucharist as people held up the bread and wine. Each home became a church and a place of worship. Thank you for being a church that is willing to experiment and reach out. Praise God, we had people from 3 countries and 5 cities from in the USA.
For me it was special that my father who had fallen and broken his hip and recovering from surgery, could join us in worship. He does not miss Church or Holy communion. In the Singh family, it was three generations bearing witness to God's faithfulness and worshipping together across great distances and time change.
The church is beyond boundaries, and praise God we can use
technology to still worship and be in communion. Let us all look forward to gathering togehter in the sanctuary next week.
Blessings in the LORD JESUS CHRIST!
J. David Singh

Sunday Worship at 10:30 a.m.
The worship service is a dynamic movement of music, both modern and traditional with considerable time spent in prayer accompanied by sound biblical preaching. People are invited to pray in their own languages. Those unaccustomed to praying aloud quickly learn to pray in the safe setting of this community.
Our worship style is varied and enriched by the different traditions which we represent. We preach Christ crucified and take the Word of God seriously for all worship and practice. The worship has both structure and as well as the fluidity of the Spirit's movement in our midst. Simultaneous translation in other languages is available.
We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday. The community gathers in a circle and shares the presence of Jesus Christ in the bread and wine.
Sunday School for children and child care are provided in the newly constructed Mission Center.
Healing Service: Every 2nd Sunday Morning Service Eternity Church is committed to being an instrument of God's healing to the broken, the lame, the blind, the lost, the weary, the wounded. Every second Sunday morning service is a healing service.
