Caring for the poor is not difficult to understand, but it can be difficult to do in our modern context. God’s people often feel this tension when it comes to panhandlers begging on the street corners of Madison.

In an effort to connect you with the daily activity of the church and fellow believers at Eastside, we have begun an initiative called More Than Sunday.

Starting on April 28th and continuing through June 2nd, you will hear sermons at Eastside from the book of Revelation. Yes, it is the one you’re thinking of, that crazy thing at the end of the Bible.
A couple of months ago, we told you about the memorial gift of a processional cross that Eastside received from our dearly departed Ellsworth Shields. The processional cross is called “The Evangelist Cross”
Rachel and I moved into a cozy little split-level in DeForest this past August. One of the unexpected blessings of the new house was a skylight in the living room ceiling.
A longtime member, Ellsworth Shields, has given our church a processional cross as part of his will. Pastor Berg explains what a processional cross is and why it will be a blessing!

We all know the words so well. Our children share them with us every year. “In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree…” On they go for twenty verses. We sit and listen and say the words right along with them.
