Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

We welcome everyone to worship today. Let us all love and accept one another, just as Christ unconditionally loves and accepts us.

This Morning the message is With Your Eyes Open. We have a powerful God that is with us at all times, and therefore, we can pray to Him at all times. The Bible says, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6). Our message will encourage us to live a life in continuous prayer.

Next Week the message is God's Rest for His People. Paul of the New Testament wrote, "for somewhere he has spoken about the seventh day in these words: "On the seventh day God rested from all his works" (Hebrews 4:4). The Sabbath is certainly not just for the people of Israel as it was something for Christians to experience as well. This Sabbath, we will be reminded of the blessings that God has for us as we rest in Him.


Our Abundant Giving project for April is Adventist Union School. AUS has a wonderful field and playground for the children. We are going to help raise money for bark for the playground. Our goal for the month is $2000. There are 5 weeks in April, so that's only $400 a week. If we can raise more than that, that would be awesome. To cover all the needed areas of the playground we would need to raise at least double that amount.
Let's help AUS keep the children safe on the playground.
Total Raised: $1100

The Pathfinders raised $770 at the Pathfinder Fair selling snow cones! Great job Pathfinders (and parents who helped)!

The message on May 7 is Mother's Love. The closest comparison of God's love for us may be compared to a mother's love for her child. The prophet Isaiah  writes, "as one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you (Isaiah 66:13).  For this Sabbath, we will honor our mothers who have shown us what it means to be loved and to be cared for throughout our lives.
