Web-Site Launched

I am excited about the new church web-site www.eagleheightsmemphis.com that has been recently launched. This web-site will be a very useful tool in communicating Eagle Heights to those in our church and also, those interested in possibly attending one of our services. This important tool will be particularly effective in the very beginning stages of the church, as we will use it to announce weekly, and special events. It is my hope that this web-site will one day become what I like to call full service, where we will have live video and streaming audio of current sermon series, and advertisements of upcoming church events and activities. Stay tuned to the site regularly, while it will be continually undergoing updates and changes as we approach the launch of the church. Should you have any questions or comments please feel free to send an email via the page on the site labeled contact us.

It is Official

Well it is finally official. June 29, 2008 will be our last Sunday at Eagle Heights Community Church in Hammond. I really cannot believe how fast the time has gone by, it seems like only yesterday we were announcing to everyone our plans for planting a church in Memphis, Tn. However, that was almost five months ago. God continues to amaze us with His favor. As many of you know, we needed to sell our home here in Louisiana, we told the Lord that even if it didn't sell we were still moving to Memphis to do what He has called us to do. We put the house up for sale without an agent and sold it 12 days later (to God be the glory). Our next obstacle was finding a place to live that someone would rent to us without having to sign a lease. Well, lo and behold a very precious neighbor friend of ours offered to let us live in a home that she had been fixing up to rent, (that is right across the street from our old house), absolutely free for as long or as short as we needed to. The really cool thing about this story is that about a year ago the Lord laid on my heart to take the college group over and plant some flower beds in her yard, and we did just that, we didn't do it for any other reason but to just be a blessing to someone in our community. God never ceases to amaze me with His blessings. One of my favorite scriptures is Proverbs 10:22 - The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. I have lived this scripture on both sides of it. I know what it means to have a lot, and be miserable, but I also know what it means to have a little and be happy. Happiness is not in things, relationships, popularity, or reputations. Happiness is in God. We have been so blessed to have been a part of such a great church, with such wonderful people. Words could never express our heartfelt gratitude to all who have been such a vital part of our lives. We are going to miss this place very much, our hearts will always be with Eagle Heights in Hammond. Please keep us (Eagle Heights Memphis) in your thoughts and prayers.
