Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

As we gather to worship our Creator, may God's love extend from us to our fellow worshipers. Welcome, children of God!

This Morning is Celebration Sabbath. After every small group series, we spend a Sabbath highlighting the experiences from each of our small groups. The groups will share what they learned from the past six weeks, and we will conclude the series with a celebration fellowship dinner that brings us all together.

Next Week the message is God is Good. For this Thanksgiving weekend, we will have a message that reminds us of all the amazing things that God does for us. The Psalmist says, "with my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord; I will praise him in the midst of the throng" (Psalm 109:30; ESV). It is so important to uplift God in praise and also uplift each other with encouragement.

AUS Workbee: Nov. 23-25, 27 @ 9-3 pm.  Come whenever you can during this window of time. Bring your tools: hammer, nails, shovels, trowels, rakes, extension ladders, paint brushes, paint rollers, gloves, wire, cutters..... etc.
Bring your extra, unwanted 2x4 and 4x4 wood beams for garden projects.

The annual production of The Journey to Bethlehem, hosted by San Gabriel Academy, will be presented on the evenings of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, December 4-6, from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. This interactive journey and musical concert is free to the public. Outdoor journeys depart throughout the evening. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors. For more details and directions, visit our website at
www.thejourneytobethlehem.org.

Everyone is invited to join us for a Thanksgiving Luncheon after the service today.

The message for December 5th is The Light of the World. In the Gospels, Jesus said "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life" John 8:12.  In the Christmas story, the wisemen from the East followed the light of a star which lead them to Jesus.  The sermon for this Sabbath will be a reminder to always follow the light that Jesus is continually giving us.
