Kicking Off 2019 The Right Way

The pastors have called for an all-church prayer meeting. Members and regular attenders join us on Wednesday January 2nd from 7:00pm-8:00pm at the church offices.

FAQs

1. What should I bring? Just yourself, your family, and warm clothes. The weather should be nice but on the cool side.

2. Where should I park? Our offices are right next to the Orange Public Library. Park in the library parking lot as spots in our office lot are very limited.

3. What about my small group meeting? All small groups for the week (Wednesday and Friday) are being replaced by this meeting.

4. What is the format? Each of our pastors will lead us in prayer then we will break into smaller groups to pray for more specific items.

5. Will there be food or drinks? Eat dinner before you come. We will have some warm drinks and water available for you.

6. Should I bring my kids? Please do! We are not offering childcare but kids learn about our faith by observation. Bring them and let them see us pray.

May the Lord Hear Our Prayers

Sunday School starts back up on January 6, 2019 at 9:30am in the Woman’s Club garden. We are spending a year in the New City Catechism strengthening our understanding of the core doctrines of Christianity.

For the new Christian, come and learn what you believe.

For the veteran Christian, clarify and sharpen your convictions.

Attending Sunday School is our #1 recommendation for each of you. We grow more when we learn together.

But if you can’t attend, there are a couple of other ways to engage with this material:

• Use the web app or mobile app to take yourself through the catechism. There are 52 questions and answers, one for each week of the year. Memorize the question and answer for each week and engage with the material they provide. There is also a devotional to help you meditate and apply what you’re learning.

• Make time for your family to go through it together and utilize the New City Catechism for kids.

The more we learn about God, the more we love Him.

We Love Organized Religion

Our partnership with Sovereign Grace Churches is crucial to our health and growth. Watch the video above and let the Lord encourage your heart as you see the fruit He is bearing in our denomination.

“All this He saw and, pitying our race, moved with compassion for our limitation, unable to endure that death should have the mastery, rather than that His creatures should perish and the work of His Father for us men come to nought, He took to Himself a body, a human body even as our own.”
-Athanasius

Suffering Changes Us For The Better

On Sunday Pastor Eric finished the book of Job preaching from Job 42:10-17. He reminded us that God is using all of our grief to make us like our Savior. He is making us holy. And holy people are happy people. Our sorrows produce our joys.

Listen to the sermon.

An Easy Way To Spread The Word

Help us distribute invitations to our Christmas Eve service. You can always do it the old-fashioned way by telling them in-person. But those of you Facebook users can head to the event page, hover over the “Share” button, then click “Share as Post.” You know the rest.

As you invite, pray that God would draw precious souls who need the hope of the gospel.

May Our City Meet Our Savior
