“Rebuild and Repair: Engaging the World with Nehemiah” – a new series at Eastbrook Church

This past Sunday at Eastbrook Church we began a new preaching series entitled “Rebuild and Repair: Engaging the World with Nehemiah.” Whether it’s that flat tire while driving, a broken-down roof, or larger aspects of our families, cities, or world, many things wear down or break. How do we engage our lives or world when things are broken? What does it mean to walk with God and serve God when the world is falling apart? Two words: rebuild and repair. Join us this summer for an exploration of Nehemiah on ways to engage our world.
