 This Sunday marks Eastown's anniversary, and we're ready to celebrate! It's hard to believe seven years have flown by since we began this journey together. This is an opportunity to reflect on the ways we've seen the incredible work of God in our community, look back with gratefulness and look forward with hopeful expectation.

Happiness often comes and goes, tied to our circumstances—a great meal, a holiday gift, or an easy day. But joy? Joy is something deeper. It's something that's felt soul deep. It's intentional. It's a gift we can hold onto, even in the hardest moments. What if joy is less about what happens to us and more about who God is for us?Eastown was created for you! It's for people who want to explore faith without feeling judged in the process.

Has the hustle and bustle of Christmas left you feeling weary? For too many of us, the warmth and magic of the season can feel distant. This Sunday, we're continuing our Advent series, "An Unhurried Christmas", focusing on peace. Can peace really exist in such a hurried time? Together, we'll slow down, reflect, and rediscover the gift of peace in this season.Eastown was created for you! It's for people who want to explore faith without feeling judged in the process.

Has the magic of the holiday season become painfully distant with the hurry of life? Do you feel weary from the way Christmas has become polished and consumeristic? You aren't alone. For many of us, Christmas has lost its wonder. What if we stopped treating the Christmas story as something that happened a long time ago and started believing that it's a story that is still happening today? Journey with us as we slow down and rediscover Christmas. Eastown was created for you! It's for people who want to explore faith without feeling judged in the process.

As we have been growing in our understanding and experience of prayer, this Sunday we are diving into one of the hardest parts of faith: what do we do when our prayers seem to go unanswered? When we're longing for God to intervene or to answer the way we want Him to, and don't see it happen, it can be easy to wonder if God is powerful enough or if God is good enough. Join us as we discover what God might want to reveal as we bring our honest emotions and our deep questioning to HIm. Let's discover how God meets us, even in the waiting.Eastown was created for you!

Abiding isn't a word we use in our daily lives. It means to continue for a long time. This Sunday we continue our Try Praying series examining how abiding in God is the key to building identity, resilience, and peace in the midst of life's constant demands. Jesus exemplified this rhythm, reminding us that it's not just what we do but who we are in God that defines us. Through moments of prayer, rest, and reflection, we'll discover how God calls us to a pace that sustains us and leads to lasting growth and purpose. How can connecting with God change your life?Eastown was created for you! It's for people who want to explore faith without feeling judged in the process.

Ever look around our world and wonder if God sees? Do you wonder If God even cares to be involved in your life?  As we surveyed many of you, we discovered that even those who pray, have questions. And even those who long to believe that God works through our prayers, have doubts. If we look at a repeated, well known prayer, we can discover the power in it that often gets overlooked. No matter what you are going through in life or where you hope for change, God sees, God cares, and God wants to know you more.Eastown was created for you!

Does prayer really make a difference? Does God hear us? Can we trust that our prayers matter? In the midst of the chaos, anxiety, and busyness of life, we often forget the power of prayer. This Sunday, we're kicking off our brand new series “Try Praying.” Whether you've never prayed before, feel like your prayers are stuck, or have given up altogether, this series is an invitation to pause and try praying—perhaps with new hope and boldness. Join us as we explore how prayer can transform not just our circumstances, but the way we experience life and God's love.Eastown was created for you!

Halloween arrive à grands pas ! Vous détestez porter des déguisements, mais regarder des fictions d'horreur, c'est votre truc ? Pour vous aider à faire votre programme de visionnage, voici trois séries qui ne manqueront pas de vous faire trembler. Au programme : un meurtre surnaturel, des ados sur la trace d'événements étranges et un veuf bien décidé à briser une malédiction qui hante sa famille depuis des siècles. La reco du week-end spécial Halloween 2024, c'est parti ! The Outsider – Max The Outsider est une mini-série basée sur le roman du même nom écrit par l'un des maîtres de l'horreur : Stephen King. Elle raconte le destin funeste d'un petit garçon retrouvé sauvagement assassiné dans les bois d'une petite ville de Géorgie. L'enquête, menée par le détective Ralph Anderson (Ben Mendelsohn), remonte rapidement la piste de Terry Maitland (Jason Bateman qui endosse également la casquette de réalisateur et de producteur exécutif), l'entraîneur de baseball respecté et aimé de tous. Preuves matérielles, ADN, empreintes digitales : tout l'accuse et pourtant, au moment du meurtre, une vidéo le place à des centaines de kilomètres du lieu du crime. Incapable de donner du sens à ce mystère, Ralph se décide à faire appel à Holly Gibney (Cynthia Erivo), une jeune femme dotée de capacités extra sensorielles, pour l'aider à démêler cette affaire qui semble fortement lorgner du côté du surnaturel. Un casting télé plutôt notable — avec notamment Julianne Nicholson, au générique également de l'excellente série Mare of Eastown avec Kate Winslet ou encore Paddy Considine, qui incarne le Roi Viserys Ier Targaryen dans House of the Dragon — une intrigue qui se déplace intelligemment vers le surnaturel et une ambiance volontairement malaisante font de The Outsider une mini-série idéale à regarder pour cet Halloween 2024. Déclinée en 10 épisodes d'une heure environ, elle est disponible sur la plateforme Max. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNDKWr3Xmjk [bs_show url="the-outsider-2020"] Chair de Poule – Disney+ Chair de Poule est une série anthologique à voir sur Disney+ moins pesante, plus humoristique, mais tout aussi tourné vers le surnaturel. Dans la première saison, la fiction se concentre sur le destin de cinq lycéens obligés d'unir leurs forces afin d'enquêter sur les agissements bien étranges du nouveau professeur, M. Bratt (Justin Long). Leur enquête va les mener à des événements qui ont bouleversé la ville 30 ans auparavant et qui impliquaient leurs parents. La seconde saison, diffusée à partir de janvier 2025, met en scène David Schwimmer (le célèbre Ross Geller de Friends) dans le rôle d'un professeur de botanique mettant à profit ses connaissances scientifiques pour tenter de résoudre le meurtre de son frère. Parallèlement, son fils et sa fille, qui viennent passer l'été chez lui, vont se retrouver mêlés à la disparition mystérieuse de quatre adolescents, survenue en 1994. Basée sur la saga littéraire éponyme imaginée par R.L Stine, Chair de Poule est la seconde adaptation TV après la série culte des années 90. En attendant la diffusion dans quelques semaines de la deuxième saison, l'intégralité des premiers épisodes est disponible sur Disney+. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07cTJzm8SFY [bs_show url="goosebumps-2022"] Chapelwaite – Prime Libre adaptation d'une nouvelle de Stephen King, intitulé Celui qui garde le ver (Jerusalem's Lot), Chapelwaite suit le parcours d'un capitaine de bateau, Charles Boone (Adrien Brody), alors qu'il essaie de surmonter la mort tragique de sa femme, Honor (Jennifer Ens), disparue en mer quelque temps plus tôt. Flanqué de ses enfants, le veuf meurtri décide de déménager dans la petite ville de Preacher's Corners, où il vient d'hériter d'un immense et mystérieux manoir familial nommé Chapelwaite. Charles va rapidement découvrir que son cousin, Stephen Boone (Steven McCarthy), aurait été impliqué dans des pratiques occultes et que la résidence serait hantée par une créature maléfique. Avec Chapelwaite, cette reco spéciale Halloween retrouve de la noirceur ! Adrien Brody, toujours parfait, incarne avec conviction un homme déchiré cherchant à dévoiler au grand de lourds secrets de famille. Un thriller surnaturel solide décliné en dix épisodes à découvrir sur Prime Video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnbsnUCbYaw [bs_show url="chapelwaite"] Enquête surnaturelle, cold case paranormal ou malédiction familiale : pour cet Halloween 2024, les fans de séries sont servis.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your hope and how would you rate your humility? In this political season, these are two characteristics that our world desperately needs as we show up to conversations, dinner tables, and workspaces together. It will take each of us being honest about where there is opportunity for our hope or humility to grow, and maybe even both.Eastown was created for you!

Whether it's inviting someone to a conversation, a community, or a deeper understanding of faith, you have the power to make a difference in the lives of those around you.You have a story that's uniquely yours, and it's worth sharing.

What thoughts do you have when you think of church? Depending on your experience, the answers can vary from warm and inviting to cold and pointless.The truth is the Church is not a structure; it's a movement! It's designed to be a source of flourishing, not just a gathering place once a week. Research shows that being part of a church community can positively impact your physical, spiritual, financial, and emotional well-being. The Church is supposed to help the oppressed, give strength to those who are week and aid those in need. For centuries that is what the Church has done, but why don't we see it in that light?Our new series, "Why This Matters," explores the true purpose of the Church and how it can make all the difference in your life.Eastown was created for you!

Feeling disconnected? You're not alone. Recent surveys from the Census Bureau reveal that Americans have been spending increasingly less time with friends and loved ones, even before the pandemic. More than half of Americans report feeling significantly lonely, a rate higher than those experiencing obesity or diabetes. Additionally, about half have fewer than three close confidants, a stark contrast to only 27% in 1990.The reality is, we were never meant to do life alone. God created us for connection, to need each other, and to live in community. He even called it good! Eastown was created for you!

Maybe you have heard the phrase: "My relationship with Jesus is a personal decision." While each of us must choose for ourselves who we will put our faith in and anchor our lives in, a life with Jesus requires a faith that is not only personal, but also public.If we study the life of Jesus and model our lives after His, we quickly discover that our public faith expresses His heart by the way we see people, expand our compassion, and sacrifice what we have for the good of others.

As we continue our series, "Did God Say...", we're tackling one of those phrases that often finds its way into our conversations during challenging seasons, "God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle."This saying may be well-intentioned, but oftentimes it proves to be more harmful than helpful. It can dismiss the real pain and problems we are facing, suggesting that if things become too overwhelming, it's somehow a failure on our part. It can also imply that each of us should be able to handle everything on our own.In truth, life often presents us with situations that are far beyond our capacity to handle alone. God never intended for us to navigate these challenges on our own. He invites us to bring our burdens to Him, to cast our anxieties upon Him, and to find rest and strength in His presenceEastown was created for you!

Your journey probably hasn't been a straightforward one. There have likely been unexpected detours and setbacks, moments when progress felt like an uphill battle. It's during these twists and turns that we may question whether God's plans for our lives are truly good. So often we can think faith and doubt can not exist together, but they often co-exist in our story. God can actually use our doubts to strengthen our faith.Eastown was created for you!

The turning point of the Prodigal son's story is quite literally that he turned around. He had every right to feel too ashamed, but somewhere deep down, he believed that there was still a chance there'd be something for him when he returned (even if it was just as a servant). If he never took the leap to turn around, he would've never experienced the joy of coming home. It may be true that your life has taken a path that you're not proud of, but what's more true is that God loves you. This means that you can always turn around.Eastown was created for you!

Have you ever felt like you couldn't escape the narratives around you? Society's stories can have you believing there's no hope of seeing yourself or people seeing you differently. How would your life be different if you could see yourself the way God does? What would you believe that you could do?
