On Sunday Pastor Dustin preached from Romans 10:14-21. These verses are clear that the only way someone can be saved is to believe God's message. The only way they can hear that message is if we tell them. Most importantly, God is working in power through all of it.
The resurrection isn't just for Easter Sundays. We sing resurrection songs and preach resurrection sermons all year round. What makes Easter Sunday at Sovereign Grace so special is that we use it to make memories. We setup a photo booth, enjoy food, and invite our families to come hear the story of how God has given us new life.
Sunday School is canceled. We'll see you at 9:30AM for donuts and coffee.
Check out photo booth photos from previous years here, here, here, and here.
This Sunday is one of our regularly scheduled plaza invasions. If you’re planning to eat lunch then you are invited. Following our worship service, we will head to the Plaza Park for lunch.
Plan to either bringing your lunch with you to church or purchasing take out at any of the restaurants in Old Towne Orange. Our favorite is Blaze Pizza.
FYI Blankets and our world famous Buck-O-Slice pizza will also be available. Guests eat free. Tell your friends this is the most delicious Sunday to visit Sovereign Grace.
Photos help us capture significant moments in our life together. They remind us of the good things God has done in our church. They tell the story of our church to our friends and guests.
You're invited to send us your photos. When you're at our services, events, and small group meetings, snap pictures. Photos of people are the best. You don't have to be a professional.
To make it easy on you, all you need to do is email them to our photo account.
"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. "
1 Corinthians 11:26
Thank you for making our 2018 Communion Service a success. Friendships were built. Food was eaten. Songs were sung. And most of all, Jesus was celebrated and adored. A special thanks to those who served by cooking, setting up, and tearing down.
"I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way."
1 Timothy 2:1-2

Our annual Communion Service is this Sunday. All the details are here.
This service provides a unique opportunity for us to celebrate the gospel. As a family, we gather around Jesus, the Sacrificial Lamb who laid down His life for us. Our feast this Sunday will be a faint echo of the great feast that is coming at the end of time. A feast that Jesus paid for with His own blood. An unending feast that will be unmatched in joy.
The song above pictures this reality. Listen to it as a way to prepare your heart for our time together this weekend.
COME TO THE FEAST
Verse 1
Go to the highways and hedges
Go to the furthest of fields
Go and compel the sick and the well
Our Father's house will be filled
Verse 2
Go to the streets of the city
Bring in the crippled and blind
All who would taste this banquet of grace
Must come and waste no more time
Chorus
Come to the feast
Come to the table
The great and the least
The rich and the poor
Come to the feast
Come to the table
Come and hunger no more
Verse 3
In the robe of the Lamb you'll be covered
Dressed in His pure righteousness
For all of your guilt His blood it was spilt
So come by your Father be blessed
