We are glad that you have chosen to worship with us today. If we can help you in any way, please let us know by filling out the information card in the pews or contacting one of our elders or deacons.

God is holy and worthy of our praise and adoration. "Holy and reverend is His name." Please keep the sanctuary a quiet place.

We believe in prayer! If you would like to spend some extra time in prayer after the 11 am service meet in the room behind the piano.

Vacation Bible School planning meeting. All current and potential volunteers are invited to join a organizational meeting in the fellowship hall from 1:30 to 2:30 pm.

Today is the 1st Sabbath a new quarter which means that it has been designated as a day of prayer and fasting. If you are interested in joining a special time of study and prayer please come to the sanctuary from 3-4 pm.

Great Controversy Distribution will take place at 4pm. Come and experience the miracles of God while delivering the most important message with our neighbors.

Fellowship Meals are returning the 2nd and 4th Sabbaths of the month.  We do not have a designated leader so for this to work we need to work together. Please bring an already prepared nutritious and delicious vegan dish to feed 8-12 people. We will not be doing any cooking, prep, or dishes on the Sabbath. The food warmer will be available to use. The theme for July 9 will be Asian food.

If you have books that you would like to donate, please deposit them in the receptacles in the area between the church office and the school rooms. Books that are appropriate will be religious, published by Adventist printing houses (Review and Herald, Pacific Press, Safeliz, etc.). Books authored by Ellen G. White are always acceptable. Books will be reviewed and a green sticker will be applied indicating approval. Then they will be placed on a table in a visible area for people to take.
