Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome! Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen.

This Morning the message is Undeserving.  One of the harshest realities in life is to come to grips with our sinful nature. During those times, we realize how little we deserve the mercy and love that God gives us, but Paul writes, "Christ died for the ungodly" (Romans 5:6) This message will reveal God's love for us even when we have done nothing that makes us worthy for it.

Next Week the message is With All Your Heart. Jesus was once asked what were the most important commandments, and he said to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself.  This Sabbath, we will attempt to figure out how to make that even possible.

The Church Directory is available. See Alex to get your copy after the service. One per family please. We can provide an electronic copy for those who wish one for their computer or phone.

Downey's Got Talent! Join us on Feb. 27th at 5:30pm for a dinner and talent show. This is a fund raiser for the church, so you'll need to purchase a ticket. See Maggie or Evelyn for tickets. If you have a talent to share, let us know! We are looking for all kinds of talent, music, sleight of hand, comedy, juggling, whatever. If you have a talent, we'd like to see it.

Sign up for Flowers! There are some dates left for flowers. You can help the church look beautiful during worship. Sign ups are in the foyer.

It's not too late to sign up for a small group. Please sign up for a group in the foyer. There are quite a few groups to choose from. Thanks!

March 5th the message is Nothing Can Separate Us. In this Sabbath, we study God's limitless love for us. Paul asks the question that with God interceding, who can separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35). We understand that no matter how much we fall, God will never stop loving us.
