The winners of the first Elston Family Church chili cookoff were announced in church today.  In the chili category, the Durham small group won.  They also won the dessert category.  Regardless of who won the contest, the event was a great time of fellowship among church members.  Additionally, we were glad to welcome some visiting families and we raised a significant amount of money for our building plans.  Thank you to everyone who helped cook food, setup tents, invited friends, etc.

MP3 has moved to a new time...Fridays!  This is going to create a fantastic opportunity for growth in reaching new students.

Starting Sunday, September 7th we will be offering two services.  We have been at capacity for over a year.  It's time.  It's a new season.  We need you to prayerfully consider rotating to the earlier service.

You can now purchase clothing items with the Elston logo: shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, hats and more. Be sure to check it out in the foyer. The order form deadline is Sunday, May 18. If you have any questions, talk to Jessica Milsaps.

We have officially changed our name to "Elston Family Church".  We were formerly known as "Elston Heights Baptist Church".  However, we feel that our new name effectively communicates our desire to reach families and to unite as a family of believers.

Starting Wednesday, October 3rd, the men of our church will start a Bible study.  This class will coincide with the women's study and Kid ROCKS.  So, now the whole family will have something to do on Wednesday nights at Elston Family Church.

The winner of the carnival's Skittles guessing game has picked up their prize, a "Mega Bouncer". We hope that they have a lot of fun with the new toy.

We have just launched a new site for our youth ministry, MP3 Generation.  Students can talk to each other in the forums, add their own pictures, and submit their favorite YouTube videos.  There's also a great list of resources for parents.  Check it out!
