Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ… to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen” (Galatians 1:3, 5, NRSV). Welcome to worship!

This Morning our Small Group series begins with the message Why Money Management is Important. On this Sabbath, we are starting a new small group series called Faith and Finance, and in the first sermon of the series, we will study how often money is brought up in scripture.  We know that finances are such an important part of our lives, but how do we relate to money as Christians?

Next Week the message is Looking at Giving. Peace of mind comes when God is in control of our lives.  After all, Proverbs 11:24 says, “One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want”. We demonstrate that God is in charge of our finances by our tithe and offerings, and therefore, we can have a financial peace mind which can be very elusive to our world today.

Yard Sale: Our next Yard Sale is next week! We will be raising money for our new Sprinkler System. Please donate your usable items AND come out on the 18th to acquire some amazing, pre-loved treasures.  Thank you for your support!

Our small groups will be starting up again on Oct. 10th. The theme for our Fall study is Faith and Finance.

Please sign up for a group in the foyer. It’s not too late if you want to host a group, talk to Pastor Cary or Bill.

Bulletin: Did you notice that the bulletin is now available in our app? Check it out and let us know how well it works on your device.

October 24 the message is Dealing with Debt. In our third installment of our Faith and Finance small group series, we will talk about how slavery is very much still with us today.  Proverbs 22:7 writes, “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is a servant to the lender.”   While we live in a time where it is so easy to be in debt, we need to protect ourselves from being enslaved by mortgaging our future so we can live beyond our means today.
