March 2014 - East Union Baptist Church

E a s t U n i o n B a p t i st C h u r c h
God. To define Him is impossible. To understand Him takes a lifetime to just begin.
We see Him in the wind, the face of a child, and the voice of an elder saint’s wisdom. We are touched
by Him in sunsets, raindrops, sunshine, and many other ways. The Baptist Faith and Message (our statement of
faith) gives us three parts under God. The first one is the Father. Our image of our Father is often formed by our
earthly Fathers; good or bad. We must remember, however, that we have a heavenly Father who loves us and
wants the best for us regardless of our earthly father.
II. God
There is one and only one living and true God. He is an intelligent, spiritual, and personal Being, the Creator,
Redeemer, Preserver, and Ruler of the universe. God is infinite in holiness and all other perfections. God is all
powerful and all knowing and His perfect knowledge extends to all things, past, present, and future, including
the future decisions of His free creatures. To Him, we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience. The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
A. God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. He is all powerful, all knowing, all loving, and all wise.
God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He is fatherly in His
attitude toward all men.

EUBC CHILDREN’S CORNER
Dear East Union Friends:
Welcome new preschooler!
Parker Allen Smith, son of Erica Smith
AWANA
Our theme for preschoolers this month will focus on
spring and gardening. Preschoolers tend to be curious
about their environment. This is a good time to emphasize there is a time for everything: Spring, Summer, Winter and Fall. It is also a good opportunity to explore
God’s creation and marvel at all the things God has
made.
The preschoolers will also learn about the good soil
and the bad soil. They will have an opportunity to examine how seeds grow into plants. Preschoolers are naturally curious and this theme offers many opportunities for
them to experiment with plants, seeds and food.
Our early Learners will hear Bible stories, music and
singing.
Love you all,
Jimmy & Doris
Think Ahead! Make Your Plans Now!

A Fresh Wind!
March is considered the windy
month. Do you take notice of
the wind as it blows through
your hair? Do you notice the
rustle of the wind through the
trees? I enjoy the wind blowing through an open window.
Wind is powerful yet also refreshing.
When we ask, the Holy Spirit will
blow the fresh powerful wind
of His presence into every area
of our lives. How often are you
aware of His presence?
Acts 1:2
“ And suddenly there came a
sound from heaven, as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it
filled the whole house where
they were sitting. And they
were filled with the Holy
Spirit.”
Spring is in the air!
Publishing deadlines: If you have information to put in
the Vineyard (bulletin), the office must receive the information by Wednesday afternoon. If you have information to put in the Grapevine, the office must receive
the information on or before the 22th of the month.
