WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A SERMON SERIES titled Jesus: Israel’s Teacher. As Christians, our marching orders come from Jesus of Nazareth. He is the interpreter of scripture, and our worldview should come from Him. Mentally and spiritually, He is the healthiest person in the Bible; therefore, He is the model for “spiritual” Israel. We hope you have been enjoying this summer series.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS who are interested in helping at the breakfast bar on either the second or fifth Sabbath of each month. No rotating commitment is necessary! If you would like to help out (even just contributing one item on one Sabbath), please contact Pastor Gary or sign up at the table in the foyer.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE TITHES AND OFFERINGS, you may do so in person by dropping your offering into the offering box in the foyer or placing your offering in a collection plate as you exit the sanctuary at the conclusion of the service. We also offer an online giving option via our church website. Thank you so much for your continued support of our church.

DURING RATTLESNAKE SEASON, we sometimes have critters from the nearby canyon wander onto our campus looking for water. Please keep a close eye on your children and stick to the paved paths during these warmer months.

UPDATES FROM THOSE WE LOVE: Janice McMillan had successful hip surgery a couple weeks ago. She thanks all of you for your prayers on her behalf. Gene and Georgia Gilliam send their greetings from Oregon, where Georgia rests in a nursing home. Margaret Sheppard says hello from Ramona where she lives with her daughter and son-in-law (Christy & Craig Balderson). Carol Fredricksen says hello from her home in Bonita (she misses coming to church so much). And Mary Betts says hello from Huntington Manor, a nursing home in Poway.
