2.  Small Groups - While our schedules may be full, and adding one more evening out seems difficult, you may be surprised how encouraging and sweet the fellowship is at a Small Group gathering.  We love to live our faith and this a great way to build community. Find yours today!!

3. New time clock - You may have heard.  You may have noticed.  We have a new time clock on the screen before the start of church and during our the mid-service break.  We want to help guests and regular attendees keep track of when we start and make sense of the gaps in our service.  

Listen again as Eric talks about Revelation 14

2.  One Ministry -  Several Sovereign Grace members were on Chapman’s campus this week to serve and meet a Christian fellowship called Revive.  We have been in Old Towne for about 2 years and for 2 years we have been praying for opportunities to reach Chapman College.  Keep praying as Dustin will be meeting with their leaders again to lend our future support and as he continues to direct our One Ministry.
