Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

We welcome everyone present and pray that God's love and joy are stirred up within each of us today. 

This Morning 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.

Next Week 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.

Yard Sale: Our Yard Sale is tomorrow! 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 have started, but it's not too late to join a group. Sign up in the foyer.

Upcoming Events

Oct. 18 - Yard Sale
Oct. 24 - Fall Party at 5:30pm
Nov. 21 - Celebration Sabbath

October 31 the message is Honesty, Integrity and Work. The Bible says, "for the love of money is the root of all evil" (I Timothy 6:10).  Love for money will reveal a person's character, and this sermon talks about the importance of how character matters in all things especially as it relates to our finances.
