Church Planting in Coachella Valley

-From Pastor Eric

Hey Sovereign Grace! I missed you guys like crazy and promise never to be gone again on Star Wars Day. What was I thinking?!

Redeeming Grace Church is doing great out in Palm Desert, CA. It was an honor to rehearse the gospel with them...they are well led, eager to reach their neighbors, and working hard to establish a church in their community. My visit was also a reminder of how good it is to be part of a new church plant.

Churches are planted one relationship at a time.

There's a real sense of urgency when the room is empty and everyone is wondering if a church is "going to make it." It enough to make regular people like you and I go out and invite people to church every week, because if we don't who will? Nobody.

Let's not stop inviting people to Sovereign Grace Church. God's working wonderful things among us. He's saving people, healing broken people, renewing a love for Jesus in old believers, and new believers are packing out classes to learn about Boniface, St. Francis of Assisi, and Thomas Aquinas. What's up with that?

You live in Orange because God is saving Californians.

Sunday In Review

1.  Camps and more:  There is a lot going on this summer at Sovereign Grace OC.  Get on the website and sign-up for all the fun activities, camps and conferences!  Check it all out here!

 

2.  Pray for our Pastor and Intern:  Pastor Eric will be preaching at Redeeming Grace Church in Indio, CA this week.  This church was planted by David Palmer and friends about nine months ago.  He has been invited to come out and encourage them in their work.  Pray they are refreshed, and that our partnership with them grows.   Also, be praying for our intern, David Christensen as he preaches from 1 Peter.

 

Listen again as Pastor Eric teaches from Mark.

Sunday School For The Unchurched

A little over a year ago, Nate Adam proposed we begin offering an adult Sunday School class. Most of us (our leaders, members, and regular attenders) had never been part of a church that did this kind of thing. Sunday School was for the old school (pardon the pun). Getting up early is hard. This is the kind of thing church people do. Who knew it would turn into what it is today?

Three cheers for old things made new.
