Today’s Worship Speaker Our sermon today will be delivered by Pastor Will Williams, our Youth Pastor. Pastor Will is a Senior at La Sierra University, majoring in Ministerial Studies. He is married to Kendal (Hester), and they live in Riverside, California.
THROUGH THE BIBLE IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS — Pastor Gary is on a journey through the greatest piece of literature ever published. Starting with Genesis 1:1, we are weaving our way through the tricky forest of biblical narrative. How long do you think it will take to reach the end of the Book of Revelation?
CHURCH ORGAN CAMPAIGN — We have created a “Matching Fund Campaign” for a new church organ. The church will match, dollar-for-dollar, all donations to the Church Organ Fund. The present church organ has served us well for many years, but we would like to upgrade to a modern organ with all of the capabilities that such an organ can provide. Mark your offering envelopes “Organ Fund”.
OFFERING NEXT WEEK — is for Church Budget.
FOOD COLLECTION — We have placed a container in the foyer to receive donations for the local food banks. Please bring canned goods, bags of rice, beans, etc. to donate to this very worthy cause. NO glass containers!
MIDWEEK FELLOWSHIP — will not meet this week and will resume March 6th.
THE EAST COUNTY WOMEN’S FELLOWSHIP GROUP — meets at 10:30 AM each Wednesday morning. For location information please call Georgia Gilliam at (619) 443-5813.
LOCAL MISSION PROJECT — Our Church Board has voted to be a partner with the Paradise Valley Church in their Refugee Assimilation Program. We will be accepting CLEAN clothing and WORKING household items to help these families establish homes here in San Diego. (NO junk please) Donations may be brought to our church library room. Thank you for your help!
COMMUNITY SERVICES — meets each Tuesday morning from 9:00 AM to 12 Noon. If you are interested in sewing baby layettes please join us. We supply Sharp Mary Birch Hospital with these baby layettes, which are given to needy mothers. We need help and yours would be much appreciated!
CHURCH WEBSITE — Did you know that your friends can watch our Worship Hour LIVE each Sabbath at www.tsdachurch.org? Or that Pastor Gary has a weekly message on the homepage? Or that there is a book review on the site? Well, now you know!
PARENTS ROOM IS A QUIET ROOM — Just a reminder that our “Parent’s Room” at the rear of the Sanctuary is for parents with very small children. The Parents Room is intended to be quiet so that babies can sleep. Please do not leave your children in this room. It is not a child-care room. Thank you for your help in this matter!

It is becoming increasingly obvious that the world is less “religious” than it used to be—especially here in the United States. By “religious” I mean the practice of Bible-reading and church-going. Organized religion has taken a big hit over the past 4 decades, and how the Bible has been taught is a primary reason.
