Join us this Sunday morning at 10:00 AM Pacific time for our worship service, as we continue our study of the book of Luke. Pastor Gary Barber will be preaching on Luke 7:18-35, “John, Jesus, & Messiah’s Mission.” This will be a very special message as we see how God, through Jesus, will turn our ashes into a crown of beauty, turn our mourning into joy, and turn our despair into praise. Come to church Sunday ready to lay at the feet of Jesus your ashes, your mourning and sorrows, and your spirit of despair, and then to receive from Jesus His beauty, His oil of joy, and His garment of praise.
This Sunday is Communion Sunday. If you cannot attend in person we encourage you at home to prepare the Communion elements (bread or crackers, plus juice) and be ready to take Communion with us after the message.
