We are now able to 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 this new 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 e-mail at jbialon@sangabrielcommunity.org. We pray this new tool will be a blessing to the congregation.

We are so grateful to Nathan and Heidi Smith for completing the big project of organizing all the books in the church library over the past few months. They have catalogued every book, created new library sections and reorganized many of the books under new sub-categories so it is easier to find books you are looking for. Their ongoing work also includes stamping all new books and following up with church members who checked out books several months ago. Church staff has also added new shelf section tags to the entire collection.
Next up, Nathan will be do occasional book reviews and highlight books from the SGCC collection in future Connections. Heidi heads up the Dust Buster crew who cleans the library every month.
Thank you, Nathan and Heidi!

Pastor Dave Halverson
Thank you for your prayer for my recent trip to Malta!
It was a very productive and enjoyable time. I am thankful that I was able to have several conversations with people engaged in gospel ministry in North Africa and the Middle East including missionaries supported by our church. In spite of the many difficulties and opposition from the dominant religious culture, the gospel is advancing, and the church is growing in the region.
