ESSENCE SERIES WEEK 2When you describe someone’s “essence,” you aren’t just detailing whether they like rolled tacos or carne asada fries better. You are drilling down to the core of who they are and what they stand for. In the same way, following Jesus isn’t about a style of music, a special language or knowing a specific ritual. The essence of following Jesus is about our identity, our new life in him, his presence within us and his purpose for our lives.
And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than for Christ. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. So you also are complete through your union with Christ who is the head over every ruler and authority. Colossians 2:6-10 (NLT)

Wanna Grow in Faith and Friendship? Join a Growth Group! You can find out a group that might fit you by visiting www.eastlakegroups.com/join and selecting the Torrey Pines Campus. If you don’t see a group that works for you, consider starting one or keep checking back, we’ll keep updating the list. We’ll also have a Groups Central on Sunday September 25 where you can meet leaders and join a group.

Our Mid-week High School Student and Jr. High Student Growth Groups have launched and meet every Wednesday from 7:00-8:30pm in Wyle Chapel. You do not want to miss!

There will be a Kids Costume Carnival on Sunday Oct 30th during and after both services. Until then, we will be collecting Candy Donations at collection bins at the Sanctuary Reception area, Hashinger Hall, and in the office. So BRING A BAG and help us sugar up some kids :)
MEALS AND MEMORIALS
MEALS FOR THOSE IN NEEDAs you may or may not know, Cathy experienced a terrible fall over a week ago, breaking an ankle in several places as well as fracturing a bone in her leg. Hence, she has not been able to move around. On Monday, she underwent surgery to repair the ankle and is now confined to bed at home. Help with meals would be greatly appreciated. There is a link mealtrain.com/2gmwem. if you would like to take a meal to them. Thanks for volunteering.
Charlotte Berry is scheduled for surgery on Sept. 27th. Please remember to pray for her. Also, it would be great if we could help with providing meals for her family while she is recovering. If you would like to bless Pastor Clair Berry and Charlotte please sign up by clicking on this link https://mealtrain.com/59dz or calling the church office at 858.453.3550.
