Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

The psalmist declared that "All the families of the nations shall worship before [God]" (Psalm 22:27, NRSV). We welcome you to our congregational worship, as well as to the worship offered by the worldwide church.

This Morning 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.

Next Week is Communion. 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.

Yard Sale: Our next Yard Sale is 3 weeks away on Oct. 18. We will be raising money for our new Sprinkler System. Please donate your usable items AND come out on the 18th to acquire some amazing, pre-loved treasures.  Thank you for your support!

Our small groups will be starting up again on Oct. 10th. The theme for our Fall study is Faith and Finance.
Please sign up for a group in the foyer. It's not too late if you want to host a group, talk to Pastor Cary or Bill.

October 10 our Small Group series begins with the message Why Money Management is Important. On this Sabbath, we are starting a new small group series called Faith and Finance, and in the first sermon of the series, we will study how often money is brought up in scripture.  We know that finances are such an important part of our lives, but how do we relate to money as Christians?
