This Week's Bulletin

Welcome

Good morning! And welcome to the weekend worship services here at Eugene Faith Center.

As pastor of the church I am so aware each week of the wide variety of life situations and circumstances being experienced by different members of the congregation. Young and older, relatively wealthy or in need, feeling joy or facing great difficulty, one of the beauties of Sunday morning is that we can all come together before God to honor Him, pour out our hearts in prayer and hear a word of grace that can empower us to a good future.

I’m so glad you’ve been able to come today, and I invite you to participate in whatever ways you can. I hope it will be a blessing for you, and one you can carry with you wherever you go this next week.

Steve Overman
Senior Pastor
