Apply for the Hemphill Scholarship

In 1969, we established the W. Joseph Hemphill Scholarship Fund. The purpose of this fund is to give supplemental aid to qualified young people to help them enter into, continue with, and accelerate preparation toward a full-time Christian vocation. If you are a college or graduate student, pursuing a full-time career in ministry or missions, please contact Pastor Dave Halverson at dhalverson@sangabrielcommunity.org to request an application. Applications are due Sunday, April 20.

Assistive Listening System Available in Sanctuary

We offer an Assistive Listening System in the Sanctuary for those that have mild to moderate hearing loss. These small devices will provide direct audio during the entire worship service and will allow you to adjust the volume to meet your individual needs. You must sit in the main center section of the sanctuary to use the system. The system is not available in the North or South chapels.

If you would like to take advantage of this new system, please stop by the sound booth.

Service Opportunities

Student Ministry Snacks Needed!

We love offering snacks at our weekly Wednesday night program, Rush Hour, that meets from 7:00 - 8:45 p.m. Our Jr. High and High School students enjoy

a time of games, worship, and teaching with our Student Ministries staff.

Would you consider helping us provide snacks for our students?

(for Wednesdays and/or Sunday mornings, for 20-25 people)

What snacks can I drop off?: Student favorites include individually wrapped chips, crackers, cookies, and fruit snacks! It's extra helpful if they are individually wrapped bags, which keeps the unused snacks fresh, so we can use them anytime! If you'd like to bake something homemade, just give us a heads up so we know when it's coming!

When can I drop off?: You can drop them off anytime during the week.

Where do I drop off?: You can drop off at the front desk of the office.

Please email Jonathan (jbalentine@sangabrielcommunity.org) for more info. Thanks!

Wycliffe Bible Translators

Praise

Besides His faithfulness, for the Lord’s wonderful love and care in every part of my life.

That I am still able to be part of Wycliffe’s Counseling Ministries (41 years this year).

For so many faithful individuals and churches who have been part of my prayer and financial support team during my ministry with Wycliffe (64 years this year).

That I can still live by myself and do most of what is needed to live a “normal” life. I do need help with various jobs, like vacuuming and mowing the lawn. I am thankful for family who helps me with these needs.

Prayer

Lord willing, I will be able to move from a walker to a cane. Besides the need for more bending of my left knee, I have a fair amount of neuropathy in my right leg that effects my balance.

For wisdom as I revise some of the papers (counseling subjects) I have written in the past.

For continued ability, love and care as I seek to come alongside those I counsel.

That I will continue to say yes the Lord to be “transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” (2 Cor 3:18)
