We Are the Church!

Heart(filled) Gratitude 

Many thanks to those who stayed after church on Sunday to be trained in the use of our new (and potentially, life-saving) Automatic External Difibulator (AED) donated to us by Hoag Hospital Spiritual Care. Abbott will be mounting the AED in the office hallway where it is easily accessible in an emergency.

Today!

This Sunday!

New Series: Meeting God in the Ordinary

Sermon: Making the Bed and Other Acts that Shape Our Lives

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-9


Inspired by the book, Liturgy of the Ordinary; Sacred Practices in Everyday Life by Tish Harrison Warren, we will spend the ordinary days of summer considering ordinary acts in which we engage in an ordinary day and how they invite us into spiritual practices that grow and deepen our connection with God. From making our bed and losing our keys to eating leftovers and fighting with our spouse, we will see what these simple, ordinary moments of our lives can teach us about worship and the life of faith.


Though it is not necessary, if you would be interested in following along by reading the book, you may contact Pastor Kim if you would like her to order a copy for you. The church will provide a physical or digital copy. Those who wish may make a donation to cover the cost. You can find more information on the book or order a copy on your own at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2GWBNM/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title.

Giving

Please consider making a special donation toward Per Capita.

As part of a connectional church we pay per capita apportionment per member to support the work of the larger Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). This year the amount is $40.65 and will be divided between Presbytery, Synod, and General Assembly. Every Presbyterian shares in the benefit of the PC (USA)'s system of government, so every Presbyterian is asked to share the expenses associated with coordinating and performing the functions of that system. Please consider making this special offering, You may add it to your regular offering, but please make a note that the donation includes an offering to per capita.


Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not regretfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7
