Eastridge Community Church
"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand and it gives light to every one in the house. In the same way, let you light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:14-16 (NIV)

· Why did Eastridge decide to do a family event in the summer?
