Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.
Mark 1:1-11 CSB

TAKE IT HOME:
Discuss this as a family this week:
-- Who do you know that takes the MOST selfies?
-- Why is a focal point important for a picture?
-- Do you think it matters that Jesus is our focal point for life? Why or why not?
-- Share about the first time you heard - or first understood - the good news of Jesus Christ.
-- Have you moved from "belief THAT" to "belief IN?"
-- If you were asked to write your own Gospel account (like Mark), how would you begin it?
