Teresa "Tita" Smith - City of Orange Mayor
Pastor Eric continued our 3-part sermon series on the government this past Sunday. Preaching from 1 Timothy 2:1-6, he exhorted us to pray like we have never prayed before.
Although there is cause for concern, we have much to be grateful for as we live and worship here in Old Towne Orange. We must continue to resist the urge to be partisan before we commit to praying for our leaders and authorities.
Our annual Reformation Sunday picnic is moving to Hart Park and going Mexican. Surely Martin Luther would approve. Semper reformanda!
Everything is provided. We've hired a taco man. Drop a donation in the bucket if you can and enjoy the fiesta. We will be located near the playground right after our Sunday service.

Plans are underway to form a new small group in Downtown Santa Ana. The Houltons will be hosting and leading the group. You can read more about them here. They will meet two Sundays per month, 6:00-8:00PM, beginning November 6th.

Our denomination holds an annual conference for pastors and church leaders. It's a wonderful time of teaching, care, and vision. It's called the Sovereign Grace Churches Pastors Conference.
This year we are taking more men then ever. God has brought us men who aspire to serve and to lead. Many of them are already doing so and we want to make an investment in them.
It costs approximately $850 to send someone to this conference. Would you help us send some of them? Most participants pay most of the expenses personally. All of them need to take vacation. A few simply cannot pay their own way.
You can give to our scholarship fund Sundays by check or cash or online here.
