Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to worship and fellowship in the house of the Lord! Please take a moment to greet those sitting near you -- longtime friends and new ones.

This Morning the message is Who is in Charge?  The Bible reveals that Christ has authority over all things as the Bible says, "he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy" (Colossians 1:18).  With all that being said, have you allowed Christ to be the authority of your life?

Next Week the message is The Selfish Prayer by Bill Aumack. Sometimes our prayers become very self-centered. We'll look at a very selfish prayer in the Bible and see what lessons can be learned and applied to our prayer life.

The Pathfinders are on their campout this weekend. Pray for safety for them this weekend.

Our small groups will be starting up again on Oct. 10th. The theme for our Fall study is Faith and Finance.
We are looking for Small Group Leaders and Host Homes. If you are interested, or may be interested, please talk to Pastor Cary or Bill Aumack.

International Day is coming Sept. 26. Be thinking about your heritage and some food and an outfit to wear. See the enclosed attachment.

The message on Sept. 26th  is To the Ends of the Earth. This Sabbath will be a special reflection on the missionary work of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  As Luke wrote, "For this is what the Lord has commanded us: 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth'" (Acts 13:47), God has called our church and each of us to share his love with others.

Upcoming Events
