   <title>An Epic Day</title>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>We included a baby dedication &amp; baptism service during our Palm Sunday service April 17. It was a very moving day in our church family. With five babies dedicated and more than 30 baptized, the service was "epic" (as one young man that was baptized posted on facebook).<br /><br />Many who publicly identified with Jesus in His death &amp; resurrection brought our family to tears. An older lady, who was not brought up in any church, declared "I am so ready for this" with tears streaming down her face. When you see a young man, who was brought up in the Muslim faith, declaring publicly his commitment to Christ, that is beyond moving.<br /><br />So many backgrounds, so many stories, but one statement made in their action today &ldquo;I believe the best possible way to live is the way of Jesus, and I am committed to following Christ&mdash;daily dying to myself and allowing the resurrected Christ to live in and through me.&rdquo;</p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>The Family of East West Church are truly an amazing group of people. The leadership would like to honor each person that is bridging the gap between what is impossible and what is made possible by your giving spirit.</p>
<p>During the month of February we hosted "U CAN LOVE" (a canned food drive to support MUST Ministries). Together we collected over 9 (55 gallon) drums of canned foods, enough boxed items to fill at least 2 more, plus we collected almost a full 55 gallon drum of just baby foods.</p>
<p>The power of our church is in our ability to GIVE&nbsp; ACT&nbsp; SERVE&nbsp; INSPIRE, not just in word, but in action!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Each day, hunger is experienced in every community across this  country. Ending hunger in America depends on the volunteer work of  literally millions of Americans who know that they can make a  difference. We at the East West Church are doing our part to help end  hunger in our local community.</p>
<p>During the entire month of February, we are collecting canned and  other non-perishable foods to support MUST Ministries Food Pantries. <br /><br />MUST  Ministries provides canned and other non-perishable goods free of  charge to Cobb and Cherokee County residents in need. Families and  individuals may obtain food through one of their three food pantries  Monday thru Friday from 10am-2pm</p>
<p>You can make a donation during any of our normal business hours, or during any of our church services. Remember ~ You CAN Love</p>]]></description>

   <title>2011 - The Year of Challenge</title>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>2010 was the Year of Recognition.&nbsp; It was a year set aside to acknowledge who God is in our life; to remember all He has done for us; where He has taken us &amp; the power we have in His Spirit.<br /><br />2010 was a year as a church, we recognized who we are in God and the strength He gives us. Through this recognition, God opened many doors for us. He even opened a door for us to plant a seed in Rockmart, GA. Our outreach church, Full Turn, is a direct result of our ability to recognize &amp; trust in His voice.<br /><br />2011 is the Year of Challenge. We understand that a new challenge will build strength and character,&nbsp; an opportunity for us to find the best within ourselves as our church. <br /><br />Martin Luther King, Jr said&nbsp; &ldquo;The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.&rdquo; Christianity is not an obligation, it is a lifestyle.<br /><br />When you are put to a test, you will discover what you are really made of and believe in. It is not about what you say you can do; it is about your actions. Your priorities are proven by your actions, not your intentions. Be prepared to face your fears and feel the exhilaration of victory. <br /><br />In 2011 speak loudly with your actions Until Our City Takes Notice - GIVE ACT SERVE INSPIRE</p>]]></description>

   <title>Imagine If You Could Change Your World</title>
   <link>http://www.eastwestchurch.org/latest-news/post/imagine-if-you-could-change-your-world</link>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone has heard of Billy Graham. He has sat with world leaders and has inspired countless numbers of people to develop a relationship with Jesus. Although his accomplishments are great, we have to remember that someone first inspired him. Maybe it was a grandmother sitting alone at night praying for her grandchildren, a Sunday school teacher teaching the same lesson they have for years, or maybe it was a friend who invited him to church where he heard a message that would forever mark his life.</p>
<p>No matter what the case may be, the result is all the same. Someone first took his or her time to inspire a young man. You never know whom God has placed in your life for you to inspire. Just think your small effort of prayer or encouragement could change a life that will inspire the world.</p>]]></description>

<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions</strong><br />Q: What's Twitter?<br />A: A place where users post very short (140 characters or less) updates. Users sign up to "follow" other users to see their updates. More general-use FAQ's are online at Twitter.com. <br /><br />Q: Where can I find Sr. Pastor's Twitter account?<br />A: His status Twitter is at <a href="http://www.twitter.com/AlanMusheganSr">http://www.twitter.com/AlanMusheganSr</a><br /><br />Q: Do I need to get a Twitter account?<br />A: No. You can just get notifications sent straight to your phone.<br /><br />Q: How will the messages get to my phone? How much will they cost?<br />A: Twitter sends the message in the form of a regular cell phone text message. It will make the same sound as a text message, and will cost you the same as a regular text message on your phone plan. Any applicable text messaging charges from your provider are your responsibility.<br /><br />Q: How long will this take?<br />A: The whole process shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.<br /><br />Q. Will I be updated in the case of inclement weather?<br />A. You will receive a text message if the church services are definitely going to be delayed or cancelled. If you don't get a message, the default assumption is we are having services.<br /><br />Q: It's snowing hard &hellip; but I didn't get a text message, so I'm still not sure whether the church is having services today or not. <br />A: You can always call the church (770.435.1152) or check our website<br /><br />Q: I don't want to receive messages anymore. How do I stop getting them?<br />A: You can stop getting text messages from Bishop any time by sending a text message from your phone to 40404 with the message "OFF AlanMusheganSr" (no quotes).<br /><br />Q:&nbsp; I'm getting unwanted messages from Twitter or other users. How do I fix that?<br />A: This shouldn't happen, but if it does, send a text message with the word "QUIT" to 40404. Then text "ON AlanMusheganSr" (no quotes). This should turn off all notifications except for our Senior Pastor.</p>]]></description>
