Christmas Offering

From now until the end of 2024, we will be collecting a special Christmas Offering. This year, our Christmas Offering will go to Worship Ministries. We have a number of pieces of equipment that need to be repaired or replaced to make our Sunday services and the use of our Sanctuary more effective. Please pray and prepare your offering as the Lord leads.

Special envelopes will be available Sunday morning, and you can also mail checks to the church with “Christmas Offering” noted on the memo line.

For giving online, you can select “Christmas Offering” from the drop-down menu.

Thank you, San Gabriel Community Church

Book of the Week

Goodbye to Goodbyes

By Lauren Chandler, Catalina Echeverri

Ages 3-6

Teach young children that Jesus came to end goodbyes.

Jesus knew how scary it is when someone gets really sick. He knew how sad it is when someone dies. Jesus cried when his friend, Lazarus, died. But he did something at his friend's tomb that changed everything. He showed that he came to give his friend's life in the land that lies after our dying.

In this vivid, moving and exciting retelling of the story of Lazarus, Lauren Chandler helps children understand how Jesus makes all the difference to death. Children will see that because Jesus rose from death, he has power over it and all who believe in him will also rise, just as Lazarus did.

The author, Lauren Chandler, used the story of Lazarus to help her own children come to terms with her husband's (Matt Chandler) brain tumor. Whether children are coming to terms with the illness or death of a loved one, or simply fearful of when that day might come, this book reassures them with the amazing truth that Jesus came to to say goodbye to goodbyes forever.

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.
