Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome! We worship in the name of our creative God, our all-loving Savior and the rejuvenating Spirit. Amen.

This Morning 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.

Next Week the message 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.

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: $1310

Mother's Day Sabbath and Breakfast is next week. Come out for light breakfast from 8 to 9:15 am. We will have a small token of our appreciation for all our women during the Worship Service. Invite your Mom.

The message on May 14 is All the Time God is Great. It is easier to be a Christian when we are in church, but what about in our workplaces or schools?  This message will reflect on how to not only let God into every aspect of our lives, it will teach us on how your life can prevail when you let your faith be known where ever you are?

AUS Spring Festival is Sunday, May 1 from 10am to 4pm. Come on out and support AUS! Plus the Downey Pathfinders will have a booth at the festival. So you can support our Pathfinders and AUS! A Win-Win.

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.

Our message will encourage us to live a life in continuous prayer.

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome to worship, Christian education and fellowship in the name of Jesus, the Savior of the world.

This Morning the message is Nothing Can Separate Us. This Sabbath, we study God's limitless love for us. Paul asks the question that with God interceding, who can separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35). We understand that no matter how much we fall, God will never stop loving us.

Next Week the message is If You Love Him. For our final small group sermon, we will follow the verses of John 21:15-25. During the time that Peter was asked by Jesus if he loved him, Jesus revealed to Peter that the prove of his love for Jesus was shown by Peter's willingness to feed Christ's sheep. God's love for us was always meant to be shared.


After lunch on Celebration Sabbath we will be hosting the Outreach Olympics.  There will be opportunities for everyone to join in an outreach event. A group is going to the nursing home, the prayer booth will be up at church, some folks will be holding signs along the street, another group is passing out flyers inviting people to our Easter service and one group will be writing some cards in the fellowship hall. So regardless of your abilities to walk or stand, there is an opportunity for you to help out. Make plans to join us!

Celebration Sabbath is coming. Sign up in foyer to bring some yummy Mexican food to share in foyer. After lunch, we'll have different opportunities to reach the community. Plan on staying on March 19.

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.


Downey's Got Talent and Dinner was a great time. We made $730 for the church beautification fund. Thank you to everyone who came out a supported the program. Also a big thanks to Maggie and Evelyn who organized and cooked for the evening.

March 19th is Celebration Sabbath. This worship service will be an uplifting testimonial time. Each of our small groups will share how the study of God's unconditional love had impacted them. Our church always looks forward to these Sabbaths which also includes a fellowship luncheon afterwards.

Welcome to the Downey Adventist Church!

Welcome! Grace and peace to you from our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. Amen.

This Morning 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.

Next Week the message is With All Your Heart. Jesus was once asked what were the most important commandments, and he said to love God with all your heart and to love your neighbor as yourself.  This Sabbath, we will attempt to figure out how to make that even possible.

It's not too late to sign up for a small group. Please sign up for a group in the foyer. There are quite a few groups to choose from. Thanks!

March 5th the message is Nothing Can Separate Us. In this Sabbath, we study God's limitless love for us. Paul asks the question that with God interceding, who can separate us from the love of Christ (Romans 8:35). We understand that no matter how much we fall, God will never stop loving us.
