EVENTS
Baptism
On Pentecost, May 19th, we will be celebrating with our brothers and sisters who have expressed a desire to be baptized.
Like communion, baptism is a ritual or symbol Jesus commanded all Christians participate in to publicly declare their decision to follow him. We do this by submerging ourselves in water to illustrate that just as Jesus died, we choose to die to our sins; and, just as Jesus was resurrected, emerging from the water illustrates that we too have been raised to new life in Christ. It can also be a wonderful opportunity to briefly share how you came to trust in Jesus.
If you have never been baptized and would like to or would like to learn more, we would love to talk more with you about that. You can contact our team at this QR code or fill out a connect card.
Gather 'Round is a way to both practice hospitality and get to know fellow members at Eastside Imago.
How it works: Gather 'Round is a collection of small groups of 6-8 people, representing 3-4 households, who commit to come together 3-4 times over the next 4 months to share a meal. Each household in a group will host a dinner, providing a main dish, while others in the group bring a side, dessert, etc. Hosting will rotate through the group until each person/household has hosted. It's a great way to meet some new folks or get to know some folks better!
When: Sign-ups are now open until June 2nd.
For any questions or concerns email june.cassell@gmail.com with the subject line, “Gather ‘Round.” Sign up here.

Men’s Community
Gathering
All men are invited to join our community on Tuesday mornings 6-7:30 AM for 9 weeks starting April 2nd as we open God's Word together and practice being better connected to each other. Please help us get a head count by RSVPing to men@eastsideidc.com.
Last Sunday
Worship Nights
Worship on Sunday mornings is fruitful and nourishing. Yet, often times, there's more that people desire. Longer spaces to simply sit, melodies extended, prayers offered, etc. These worship nights exist to provide a space where praise, prayers, can be offered up freely to our Lord, Jesus Christ. It's a time and place where we come with no set script, no pre-determined destination, just to be open to where the Holy Spirit wants to lead .
This will be on the last Sunday of every month at 6pm. For more information or questions, please email Reuben.
