PASTOR GARY BEGINS A NEW SERIES OF SERMONS TODAY on The Practical Religion of Jesus. The Gospels reveal a Jesus who primarily focused on practical behavior, and not on theoretical beliefs. His religion was relational, and we would do well to learn from him. We hope you enjoy this new series.

LAST SABBATH’S “CHURCH IN THE PARK” outing was a success as over 70 people showed up to fellowship in the fresh air together. We enjoyed getting to know members from the Chinese Fellowship of Seventh-day Adventists and were blessed with the special music they provided. If you were unable to attend last Sabbath and would like to watch the service, the video is available on our Church’s Facebook page. We are already looking forward to next year’s “Church in the Park” outing!

YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS OUR SPECIAL MUSIC GUESTS next Sabbath. Kristen Kort and Stefan Wendel, a flute/harp duo from the San Diego area, first met in 2016 while performing in City Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker and have been collaborating ever since. We hope you will be able to join us next Sabbath for their return to our Church campus.

THE SECRET FRIENDS REVEAL LUNCHEON will be held right after Church in the Fellowship Hall on Sabbath, August 19.

THE HEALING PRAYER LIST has started anew. If you would like to add a name to the list, please write it down on the clipboard in the right foyer alcove.

MIDWEEK FELLOWSHIP is taking its annual summer break and will resume its studies on Tuesday, August 1, at 6:00 pm.

RATTLESNAKE SEASON IS HERE. Please keep a close eye on your children and stick to the paved paths.
