Scripture of the Month

Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’ Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’ Can it give guidance? It is covered with gold and silver; there is no breath in it. But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.

Habakkuk 2:19-20

Dwight & Jan Walker

 Jan and I have been members at Eastridge since 1991.  We were the first people to place membership after James Hawk accepted the pulpit ministry.  I have been an elder since 1992.  Jan and I are active in the Children’s ministry.  She is the director of the 3 years and under group and teaches the nursery class on Sunday which means I get to hold babies while she teaches.  It just doesn’t get any better than that!

 

Glenn & Judy Hall

Email Glenn

Judy and I have been members of Eastridge since 2003.  In 2005 I began serving as one of the elders.Before coming to Eastridge my career with AT&T, Sprint and other telecommunications companies required us to move frequently.  We enjoyed getting to know our spiritual brothers and sisters in many cities.  During our time in Kansas City I was blessed to serve as one of the elders at the Overland Park congregation for 5 years.  Judy worked for Sprint as an event planner and financial analyst and served in the benevolence ministry.  While there, we were able to complete our undergraduate studies in business and psychology.

We have two children, Doug and Jennifer and 5 grandchildren.  Doug and his wife Jill and their two children attend the Preston Road congregation.  Jennifer and her husband Scott and their three children attend the Eastridge congregation.Today Judy serves in the kindergarten class and food pantry. I am privileged to teach the Sunday morning Journey’s class that meets in the auditorium.  What a blessing to work and serve this great church family!

Ken & Holly Ford

Email Ken

Holly and I have been members of Eastridge church of Christ since November 2001.  We were initially drawn to this congregation by rumors of the merger between Rockwall and Lakeside churches of Christ. We have been incredibly blessed by being a part of Eastridge, which is a wonderfully dynamic and loving congregation.  I served as a deacon over small groups for the last six years, and have been a Shepherd in our congregation since 12/6/2009.  

My passions include studying and teaching God’s word, small groups ministry, medical ministry, and shepherding.  Holly and I have been married twenty two years, and have two teenage boys, Kenneth (15) and Matt (13).  We enjoy tennis, skiing, and outdoors activities.

 

Keith & Vickie Thomason

Email Keith

Vickie and I began worshipping with the congregation now known as Eastridge during the summer of 2001.  Part of what drew our family to this church was the welcoming, friendly atmosphere we experienced from the very first visit.  I believe that atmosphere has remained even though we grown tremendously since then. 

I was blessed to also serve at the youth minister for Eastridge for several years.   We are excited to be currently involved in the Roaring 20’s Class that helps us stay connected with many who were in the youth group not so long ago.  Vickie is also involved in Cool Kids and enjoys teaching pre-school Bible classes.  And, of course, we love our small group meetings, too!

Vickie and I have three adult sons (and two daughters-in-law.)
