Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Brothers and sisters in Jesus, welcome to this time set aside to focus on the Holy Spirit working among us. May our hearts be open and eager to receive God's Word!

This Morning 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.

Next Week the message 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.

Please sign up top bring some food for the International Luncheon next week. Thank you!

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.

Bulletin: Did you notice that the bulletin is now available in our app? Check it out and let us know how well it works on your device.
If you need the app, it's available on Google Play (Android) and the App Store (Apple). Search for "Downey Church" to find our free app.

Communion is October 3rd. For this Sabbath, we will participate in the Lord's Supper.  This is always a special moment for our church as we contemplate the incredible sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. It's a time that we can recommit our lives to the amazing love that God has for us.

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