Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Each of you is important to God and to us as well. May you find here God's grace, and be blessed by this worship service. Welcome!

This Morning 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.

Next Week 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.

Yard Sale: We raised $925 for our sprinkler system. 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.

Kitchen Utensils: If you have borrowed something from the kitchen (pots, pans, knives, etc.), please return them. We seem to have quite a few things missing. Thank you.

November 1 the message is Saving and Investing. Wisdom from the Bible says, "precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it" (Proverbs 21:20; ESV). God has given us the resources to fulfill His purpose for our life, and a wise man will be intelligent with their money on how they spend or save it. When we do follow God's principles on finances, we are able to live with a greater sense of freedom and the way God intended us to live.

Abundant Giving
Our first project is $10,000 for a new sprinkler system.
Amount raised so far: $3911
Mark your donations for the "Building Fund." Thanks!

The flowers today are from the Fishers for Johanna's birthday.
