Father’s Day Project
This year the Eleventh Street Church of God Worship/Events Committee chose Refuge of Hope for our Father’s Day Project. Refuge of Hope is a local Ministry to the homeless and hurting men of our community. They provide hot meals, clothing and shelter to men who are in need. It is also a support center, in a safe environment, where men can come to grips with personal, economical and societal issues that caused them to become homeless and hurting.
Refuge of Hope provides encouragement to men and helps them realize that positive life changes are possible regardless of their currant circumstances. The goal is to help them understand the love of Jesus Christ and achieve the stability necessary to be a positive contributor in our community.One need of this organization is Men T-Shirts in sizes L to 4XL so we have made this the 2018 Father’s Day Project. Envelope will be available in the Narthex if you prefer to make a monetary donation. Your T- Shirts or monetary donation will be a blessing, through the Refuge of Hope, to men in our community.

March Newsletter 2018

 

Check out our March Newsletter 2018
 

Journey to the Resurrection

Lent is the Christian season of preparation before Easter. The goal is to strengthen our faith, spiritual disciplines and develop a closer relationship with God. The choice to observe Lent is a personal one—the whole point is to focus your heart and mind on Jesus during the journey to Easter.
 
There are various ways that the Eleventh Street Church of God can help you to achieve your spiritual goals. Each Friday morning through March 23rd I will be leading a spiritual growth study entitled, “Journey to the Resurrection.” Our journey will include Bible Study, inspirational testimonies, and prayer as we seek to draw closer to who God wants us to become. Plan to participate in a journey of personal growth and renewal and invite others to walk with you along the path to greater spiritual maturity.
 
Another way that we draw closer to God is through praise and worship. Inspired music, God’s Word, fellowship with fellow believers enables us to experience the presence of God in a unique and special way. Your presence in worship encourages others to grow in their faith and commitment to God too.
 
Please note that a special opportunity has been afforded us. On Good Friday at 6:30 p.m. there will be an authentic Seder (Passover) meal provided. The location is yet to be determined.

Monday, March 12th

Everyone is Invited!! On Monday March 12th, the CWC will be meeting at 7 PM at the Church. Tammy (Hurst) Eshelman will be showing pictures and talk about her recent trip to the Holy Land.

What Is “Meaningful Membership”?

“God’s true church is a church of which Christian experience makes one a member.” The Church of God Movement from its conception has always stood on the biblical truth that a true member in God’s church is only by faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The following sited question “What is Meaningful Membership and answer are a wonderful, concise description of what a person who identifies with the Eleventh Street Church of God should consider. – Randy Shafer
 
1. The members of a church should be Christians. In Acts those who believed the gospel were added to the church (Acts 2:41, 47). Paul letters to churches are letters to Christians (Rom. 1 :7, 1 Cor. 1 :2). While no church will be able to perfectly discern who is and is not a Christian, every church should open its membership only to those who credibly profess faith in Christ.
 
2. The members of a church should be regular attenders. Church membership helps churches oversee the lives of their members. If someone doesn’t regularly attend, the church has no way of knowing how the person is doing.
 
3. Members view the church as their primary context for fellowship and ministry. “I’m a member of First Presbyterian Church, but my real ministry is” is an unbiblical way to begin a sentence. The New Testament is full of “one anothers” that were written to the members of local churches. That’s not to say that Christians shouldn’t fulfill those commands among Christians in other churches as occasion arises. Still, the New Testament envisions Christians fulfilling those commands primarily among a concrete group to whom they are accountable (e.g. 1 Cor. 12).
 
4. The members of a church should have certain biblical privileges and responsibilities. The members of a local church should have the privilege of being admitted to the Lord’s Supper.
 
They also have the responsibility to:
 
• Pray for the church.
• Be in transparent relationships with other church members in which they care for, encourage,
rebuke, teach, and learn from each other (Eph. 4:15-16).
• Submit to the church’s leadership and teaching (Heb. 13:17).
• Promote unity in the body (Eph. 41:3).
• Financially support the church’s ministry (Gal. 6:6).
• Use the spiritual gifts God has given them to build up the body however they can (1 Cor. 12:7).

Turning the Page in Our Journey

Pastor Randy Shafer

 
It is exciting to see how God has worked at the Eleventh Street Church of God in the year 2017. Through His work in and through the faithful people of the Eleventh Street Church of God we have begun to see the reality of a new and greater vision of God’s work in Canton, Ohio and beyond. There are some challenging, exciting opportunities in the development stage for 2017. You will also begin to see movement over the next few months as the leadership puts into motion a new and inspiring strategy for the development of our Faircrest Property.
 
May we continue to be faithful and sensitive to God’s guidance in fulfilling the
vision He has given us.
 
“Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish
infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.” Ephesians 3:20 NLT
 
Doubt sees the obstacles…Faith sees the way:
Doubt sees the darkest night…Faith sees the day:
Doubt dreads to take a step…Faith soars on high,
Doubt questions…”Who believes?”
Faith answers…”I believe!”
 
Faith is the master builder. It has built every bridge across every chasm; every city on the wide-extended plains; every institution of learning whose doors are flung wide open to hungry minds; every church through whose gates of glory the worshipers come into its courts of praise.
 
The word of faith is, “All things are possible.” The strong point of faith is that it connects itself with the power of God that can find no difficulties. – Paul W. Powell
 

December Monthly Newsletter 2017

 
 
Check out our 
 
What is important about the Christ’s Birthday Observance?
 
Project Prayer
States and countries with a Church of God presence are assigned a specific day in December to pray for the ministry of the church around the world.
 
Offering
The Christ’s Birthday Observance Offering is collected the Sunday
before Christmas as gift to the Christ Child. The money collected touches nearly every ministry in the Church of God.
 
Why should our church participate in the Christ’s Birthday Observance?
• Focus on Christ during the season of Advent (which often overtaken by commercialism).
• Share the story of Christ’s birth.
• Celebrate Advent in concert with Church of God congregations around the world.
• CBO has deep roots in the Church of God. The Observance, which began in 1949, continues to be one way Church of God congregations come together for the benefit of the Kingdom.
• In addition to prayer and devotion, CBO offers an opportunity to give to the combined ministry efforts of the Church of God in the largest offering in the Church of God.
 
You will receive in the mail a Christ Birthday Observance letter and envelope for the offering. There will also be extra envelopes available in the church narthex on the welcome table or you can ask an usher for one. Our church goal for the Christ Birthday Offering is $2,200.00.
 

We hope you and your family will make it to our many Christmas Events!
