Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to 2016, welcome to Downey Church and welcome to our first worship service of the year!

This Morning the message is How Much Do You Need? Bill Aumack will share a message about having access to God's power. Is that a constant? Or does it vary? Duet. 33:25 says "as thy days, so shall thy strength be." What does that mean for us?

Next Week the message is Changing It Up #1. The Bible calls for us to be a new creation as Paul wrote, "if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"(II Corinthians 5:17).  As the New Year has come, we are reminded of changes that we need to make. In reality, it is only when Christ is in our lives that real change can ever occur.

The memorial service for Ray Fernandez is tomorrow at 1pm here at the church. Please join us as we remember our dear friend Ray.

Our small group series Agape starts on Feb 6th. If you would like to host a small group please talk to Pastor Cary or Bill. Thanks.

Sign up for Flowers! Be sure to sign to help provide flowers next year for the worship service. Sign ups are in the foyer.

The message on January 16th is Changing it Up #2. This Sabbath's message will be a follow up from the 9th.  To make a real change in our lives, it is often said that we need to have will power. What we really need is less of our will, and that happens when we learn to surrender everyday and allow Jesus to be the one that is directing our path.

Jan. 23 - Fellowship Luncheon @ 12:30pm

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to our last worship service of 2015. God is Lord of all time and eternity, so we walk with him -- and one another -- into all that the new year brings.

This Morning the message is The Day After. While we are very much still in the Christmas season, Christmas Day has come and gone, so now what?  We will learn the principles that come from following Joseph's journey. We obviously know that the birth of Jesus is just the beginning, and there was still so much more for Joseph as life goes on.

Next Week the message is How Much Do You Need? Bill Aumack will share a message about having access to God's power. Is that a constant? Or does it vary? Duet. 33:25 says "as thy days, so shall thy strength be." What does that mean for us?

Be sure to take a picture for the Church Directory! This is the last week.

Thank you to everyone who brought cookies and helped with our Community Christmas Worship last week. It was a wonderful service. Praise the Lord.

Sign up for Flowers! Be sure to sign to help provide flowers next year for the worship service. Sign ups are in the foyer.

The message on January 9th the message is Changing It Up #1.

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

I invite you, as the prophet invited Israel: "Sing aloud ...! Rejoice and exult with all your heart ... The LORD has taken away the judgments against [us]" (Zephaniah 3:14-15, NRSV). Welcome!

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to worship, sisters and brothers, as we look toward the coming of the Christ!

This Morning the message 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.

Next Week is Pathfinder Sabbath. This will be a ceremonial worship service that highlights the attributes of Pathfinders and this service will also be an induction for any new youth that are joining the ministry.  This is always an inspirational Sabbath as Pathfinders is such an important part of our church.
