The Journey to Church - "Says Who?"
1 Corinthians 8:1-13 and Mark 1:21-28
With everyone back from the holidays, we are returning to two worship services each Sunday with our Traditional service at 9 am and Contemporary service at 10:30 am.
Pastor Todd is preaching an 8 week series about the "Journey to Church", exploring Jesus' early ministry with his disciples, what he was teaching about in those early days and what the lessons he taught might have for us today. The first three messages touched on remembering our own baptism and hearing & responding to God's call. Pastor Todd weaves ancient, Biblical and modern history with personal anecdotes throughout his sermons, creating messages that are Bible-based and yet very relevant for today. This week he'll use passages from 1 Corinthians and the Gospel of Mark in his sermon "Says Who?". Come and hear the Good News!
We are supporting the mission trip of Donna who is going to Uganda for 3 weeks. During January, we are collecting school supplies, educational games, and money for shipping the supplies. Donations can be made at Sunday worship or during the week in the church office.
Campus Pastor Alissa Betsch-Johnson will be leading a team of 17 students to South Central Los Angels during spring break; fundraising is underway and you can help!
