		New Message Series Begins this Weekend
		Christian Clichés That Drive You Crazy How often have you heard the cliché, "Let go and let God?" But is that really what God wants us to do? Christians have their own set of clichés—phrases that aren't actually in the Bible, but they are repeated enough that people start to believe them even if they aren't completely true. Before Christian clichés start driving you crazy, join us as we examine six common ones to see if they hold up to the light of Scripture. Send an e-invite on eaglebrookchurch.com today!

		NEW Source Magazine is Available at All Campuses
		The Summer 2008 Source is ready for your reading pleasure, available at all campuses this weekend. The Source is Eagle Brook's magazine that comes out three times a year, highlighting happenings at EBC, ministries, new staff, and where we're going as a church. Grab your own copy on your way out today.

		Are You New to Eagle Brook?
		If so, we have some resources for you to help you get better acquainted. Stop by Information Central or the Welcome Kiosk in the lobby, and they can hook you up with a Welcome Packet and answer any questions you may have.

		Men's Infuse Monthly—May 13
		Tuesday, May 13, 7-8:30 pm, WBL (Come early to purchase dinner in the Café) Don't Leave Anything on the Field During this session of Infuse Monthly, we will talk about the purpose God gave us to fufill on this earth, and whether or not we've accomplished that purpose.

Join us for our last Infuse Monthly of the season!

(Cost: $5, covers snacks and materials. Scholarships available. You must be 18 in order to take this class for membership.)
