Book of the Week

Jesus and the Very Big Surprise

(Tales that Tell the Truth)

By Randall Goodgame, Catalina Echeverri

Ages 4-8

Teach children about Jesus’ return and why it’s so surprising.

This beautifully-illustrated hardback book by singer and TV presenter Randall Goodgame is based on the parable in

Luke 12:35-38.

It teaches children that Jesus will return and, when he does there will be an amazing party where ... SURPRISE! he will serve his faithful servants! Jesus didn’t tell us when

that party will be, but we can make sure that we’re ready for it by loving him and loving his people while we wait.

Click on the book for the Children's Ministries Amazon Book List.

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 contact Jon Bialon via email at jbialon@sangabrielcommunity.org
