The next weekend we decided to show up in person. Around the same time, another friend invited us to a Christmas service. We got plugged in within a month, and this has just been our church for the last seven years.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The words unleash compassion, is exactly what Eastside is doing locally and globally. It really does give us the opportunity to serve our community and serve our global neighbors too. Every time there is a video of what&#8217;s going on overseas, Kylie is moved to tears. It&#8217;s just so cool to see how our church community is able to provide help and resources and even more going on behind the scenes we don\u2019t see. We are very thankful to be just a small portion of this compassion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a83dd25 e-transform

However, sometimes this habit can also make the donation out of sight, out of mind.
