Our Service

GUEST SPEAKER RESCHEDULED: Due to the current weather emergency (flooding), and also the youth service project scheduled for this Sabbath, our youth director, Nestor Osman, will be joining us for worship as our guest speaker on Sabbath, Jan. 3, 2026.

SABBATH PRAYER TIME: Join us in the “Engine Room” below the church platform for half an hour of prayer and reflection at 9:15 a.m.

WEDNESDAY PRAYER TIME: Join us on Zoom at 7 p.m. for study and discussion of the book of Matthew, followed by a time of prayer.

LOOKING AHEAD FOR JUNIORS/TEENS:

• Today, Dec. 13—We will be volunteering with A Simple Gesture. You can drop your children off before church and pick them up after Sabbath School at 3001 R behind the Salvation Army. Miriam will be there at 9:30 a.m. Vegetarian pizza will be served at about noon.

• Dec 20—We will be putting together and delivering holiday gift baskets to the homes in our church's neighborhood.

PLEASE CONSIDER HELPING: In the spirit of Christmas, I (Pastor Sam) am asking you to prayerfully consider helping someone I consider a friend and a genuinely good person. Diana F.’s job was cut by the city budget. With just a week’s notice, she finds herself out of work, and within a month she will not have life-saving health insurance. Diana has an auto-immune disease that has required multiple surgeries and expensive medication to keep her in remission. Without health insurance it will be a struggle to pay for these life-saving medications. For more information, please use this link.

CANDLES NEEDED: Do you have battery operated candles, either pillar or taper, that you would be willing to loan to the church for our Candlelight Communion on January 9th? Please let Sue or Pam know and plan to bring them to church with you on January 3—preferably filled with fresh batteries and your name on the bottom of them!

BELLA’S MISSION TRIP OPPORTUNITY: Bella M.’s senior class at Fountainview Academy has been given the opportunity to serve on a mission trip to the Philippines. From March 18–31, they will be on the island of Palawan, partnering with Philippine Adventist Medical Aviation Services (PAMAS) and Light Philippines to support their growing ministry work.
Each student is responsible for raising $1,350 USD to cover airfare, lodging, meals, transportation and mission project expenses. Your support — whether through prayer, encouragement, or financial sponsorship — would make a meaningful difference and help make this mission possible. For financial support, please use this link, and select the U.S. & International Donor Form where you can list Bella as the student you are helping to raise funds.

CHRISTMAS BASKETS FOR NEIGHBORS: Thank you to everyone who signed up or already delivered the items needed for the baskets. Please make sure they are at the Garden House by 10 a.m. on Sabbath, Dec. 20. The baskets will be passed out after Sabbath School.

LUNCH BUNCH SIGNUP: Our church family strives to provide a meal for our visitors and guests each week following the service. Please invite a friend and sign up together to prepare food and host our guests! You will meet the nicest people!!
