Title: Body Language Series: All Hands On Deck Passage: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Eastpoint Church – we are on a mission. God has called us to make a tangible difference in the lives of people all over the Eastern Shore.

Or we can, by faith, dare to believe He can use even people like us. If we’re going to be transformed into the change agents God is calling us to be, then we need to understand our roles; we need to understand 1 Corinthians 12; we need to understand the church’s Body Language.
