Trunk or Treat 09'

Eaton was absolutely buzzing Saturday night, and our first Trunk or Treat was a true hit! The trick-or-treaters tip-toed up around 5:40, and from that point on there was a steady flow through 8p.m. It was amazing seeing more of the faces of Eaton and enjoying an evening with them! As always, thank you everyone, specifically Tim and Nikki for making this happen!

An Amazing Sunday



God was truly with us as we celebrated eighty years of service to Him, this past Sunday morning. Eaton First Church of God is alive and well, and we have great days ahead!


And what's a celebration without a family meal?? Many joined us in the Family Life Center for a chili pitch-in after the morning service. Thank you to all who helped!



2p.m. was the installation for Pastor Andy, and again, God was with us. Thank you to Pastor John Crump for being with us and such a constant support. Truly, from the bottoms of our hearts, the Dennistons thank every single one of you. Those who have prayed for us and will in days to come. Those who came to spend this entire day with us and those who were there by heart. Thank you to our new Eaton family for making us feel so genuinely loved.


All praise to our savior!

Angel Food

Andy, Levi, Lydia, and I joined Amy W. and her crew for the Angel Food distribution this past Saturday morning. Admittedly, we arrived after the work had been done (unintentionally), but we loved our time spent with everyone. What a wonderful ministry to our community! Thank you Amy for leading this ministry!

To be honest, Andy and I had a hard time figuring out what Angel Food was all about. And then the Aldi shopper within me had a light-bulb moment. Food for less! Now that I understand! Angel Food offers quality food for prices you simply won't match in any store; trust me, I've done the research. This is something to spread the word on; I know we're not the only family who is blessed by savings opportunities.
You are also welcome to purchase boxes to be given to those in need. We will make sure it is put to good use! November orders are due on the 9th, and everyone watch for the next distribution date - it's truly a fun morning!!

Ground-Breaking

As we prepare to celebrate 80 years of service in Eaton, the footage and pictures that I've been given to sort through is simply amazing. What a truly, truly rich heritage EFCHOG has! This is footage from the ground-breaking in 1962! In color and all!

Keenagers!

Andy, Levi, and I joined the Keenagers for their annual gathering, and let me tell you, it was fun from beginning to end. Here's another group to be excited about!
The food was outstanding, but more than that, the company couldn't have been topped. What an amazing group; Andy, Levi, and I plan to keep coming until they kick us out =) Join us if you'd like! 3rd Tuesday of each month, noon, in the fellowship hall. Bring a dish to share and a gigantic appetite!

Fishers of Men and.....Sardines!

I heard it said recently, that our youth and children aren't the church of tomorrow, they're the church of today. And I couldn't agree more; what a vital role their young lives play in God's grand plans.

Tonight, I saw that our youth group is something to truly be excited about!! I (Jenessa) had the priviledge of meeting a few more of them tonight and joining them for their ice-breaker. There was a great crowd, and I hear it was actually small in comparison to most weeks. Awesome! I can't wait to get to know them all more and witness first-hand what big thing's God is doing in each of their young lives!
(The ice-breaker involved racing with sardines. These are of three of the brave souls :) )
