Prayer is an essential part in the life of a believer and the church. Psalms 105:4 says "Look to the Lord and his strength, seek his face always." Each Sunday morning at 10:15 the Elders will be gathering by the fireplace for a time of prayer. They invite you to join them as they ask the Lord to move in hearts and to pour out his Spirit upon the church and its ministries.

The Heart of the Matter The Utter Relief of Holiness (Lent 2015)
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for he who calls you is faithful.
—1 Thessalonians 5:3-4 (NLT)
The foremost theme for this Lenten season is holiness—the holiness of God and the holiness he expects of us. God wants us to be holy in every way, and he is intent, as he works in us through the power of his Spirit, on keeping us blameless until the day when Jesus Christ returns. But holiness is something few of us really understand, much less want. And even if we were to want it, holiness seems out of reach, for we know ourselves all too well. Through the preaching series and the accompanying devotional, we will recapture what the Bible says about holiness and catch the vision of what we ourselves could be like as a people truly transformed from the inside out—beautiful, radiant, resplendent.
Ways you can participate:

Our desire at Eaton Church of the
Brethren is to enable every person to
experience the living Christ in transforming ways. In continuing the mission Jesus placed
before His followers when He commanded them, and us, to go and make disciples, we are
dedicated to four intrinsic values. These ongoing values of Experience, Connect, Grow, and
Impact are interwoven and cannot be taken singly but as a four-fold approach to our call as a
local expression of Christ's worldwide church.
Throughout Scripture, God made His presence known
to individuals like Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and Isaiah,
among many others, as well as to His people, the
Hebrews, and to the Early Church. The presence of God
powerfully transformed them then, and us still today.
We place great emphasis on worship and prayer, sacraments like communion and baptism, and
spiritual disciplines to be practiced individually and collectively, while fully acknowledging that
our very access to God was secured in Jesus' sacrifice at the cross on our behalf.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time
of need. –Hebrews 4:16
Experience the reality of God
through Jesus
In contrast to our individualistic society, we
are intentional about connecting with others,
because life with God was never intended to
be solitary. We need one another in order to
be shaped into the image of Christ,
so we build one
another up with
the gifts God has
given each of us.
We encourage
one another, we
exhort one another, we pray for one another,
we help to meet the needs of one another.
Members are not anonymous but are known,
and know and connect with others. We
encourage every member to do life together
in smaller groups.
Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of
Christ. –Galatians 6:2
Just as parents want their children to grow
and mature, so our Father wants us to grow.
He has provided His
Word, the inspired
Scriptures of the
Old and New
Testaments, as
nourishment for all
believers, whether
newly born or experienced in years. The Bible
reveals God Himself and acts as a mirror,
showing us for who we really are, as well as
shaping our view of the world around us. We
strive to provide various means of
understanding Scripture and how we relate to
God, through Sunday morning preaching and
age-specific and topical classes and studies.
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that
by it you may grow up into salvation. –1 Peter 2:2
Connect with others in a community
of faith
The church is intended to be a beacon of light in a world
shrouded in darkness. Where there is hopelessness, we share the
hope of Christ. Where there is sin, we share the message of
reconciliation through Christ. Where there is suffering and
injustice, we carry the burden of God, who has always
championed the cause of the marginalized, and we act on His
behalf. We are identified as followers of Jesus by our love for one another, and we are marked
by our mission of reaching others with Christ's love.
… in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the
message of reconciliation. –2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (ESV)
Grow in the
knowledge of God and His Word
Impact the world by
demonstrating the love of Christ
