OPERATION
Oh SNAP!
EASTSIDE COMMUNITY TABLE FREE MEALS
In November 2025, millions of Americans—including many in our own community— lost access to food assistance due of the government shutdown.
If you have been affected by the government shut-down Operation Oh SNAP! is Eastside Imago Dei Community’s response. We’re coming together to feed our neighbors free meals three times a week throughout November:
Sunday Breakfasts: 8:30 - 9:30 am
Wednesday Dinners: 6 - 7:30 pm
Friday Dinners: 6 - 7:30 pm
MEALS WILL BE SERVED IN THE GYM
~ TAKE AS YOU GO FOOD TABLES ~
Join us in showing Portland what the Kingdom of God looks like when the Church steps up to meet real needs with real love.

Fasting
In this Season of Prayer we are encouraged to press into fasting in the same way Jesus fasted as He prepared for temptation. Similarly, our fasting from something material might be the feasting on the Presence of God that makes us strong against temptation from the enemy.
We encourage you to seek the Spirit's leading for your fast in community with other believers, and to encourage each other in this practice.

The best place to be on a Tuesday night!
EVERY Tuesday Night

Did you know that every Tuesday Night @ 6:30pm Eastside Imago Dei has a full-blown ministry with worship, testimonies, teachings, small groups, meals and childcare? That’s right, it’s called Celebrate Recovery – CR for short!
Celebrate Recovery exists to see real people, completely in love with God, gain freedom from their hurts, hang-ups and habits and come into right relationship with God & others. CR is a lighthouse to those in need of healing, refuge, community and the love & grace of God. Come and see what the Lord is doing every Tuesday evening.

Baptism is what Jesus asks His followers to do to show they are committed to following Him. It’s a practice that represents Jesus has paid for our sins and we are now raised up to a new life with Him.
If you’d like to be baptized, please let us know and we’ll work with you to schedule a time to do that.

OPPORTUNITIES
Christ takes care of His Church, His Bride by the humble work of His people, Eastside is a part of that Bride. We are a family made up of teams that love and care for each other. When we all carry the responsibility of loving and caring for one another it does not have to be a burden to any of us.
As a part of the family of God, everything we do we want to do it unto the Lord, because He is the One that we do this for. We need help and we want more than just enough.
If you know that there is more that you can do in serving, scan the QR code and fill out the Volunteer Form. Our Volunteer Coordinator will work with you to find that place that will be a blessing for you to serve in.
