Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to worship, brothers and sisters! It is good to gather to praise our Lord Jesus.

This Morning we start the Agape small group series. The first message is Nothing is Greater. We will follow 1 Corinthians 13. The theme of the chapter is that without love everything that we do for God is meaningless.

Next Week the message is Know God, Know Love.This message answers the question why nothing is greater than love as I John 3:7 says "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.  Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."  The core of God's character is love and as we seek to understand God, we will ultimately understand the deepest meanings of love.

Pathfinder Convocation is today at the White Memorial. All of the Pathfinders, leaders and parents are there today. We pray they have a great experience with all the other Pathfinder clubs.

Our small group series Agape starts TODAY. Please sign up for a group in the foyer. There are quite a few groups to choose from. Thanks!

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.

February 20th 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.
