A Weekend to Remember

We missed those who couldn’t attend and we missed being in Orange. But we had a wonderful time at Church Camp 2024. The Lord used Pastor Eric’s preaching to impress upon us these three important words from His Word: love, fight, rest. May God give us grace to do all three.

If you have photos from camp, please send them in to photos@sgcorange.com.

The pastors want to thank all of you who attended. Here are a few folks who played a big role that we want to publicly thank:

• Chris and Wendy Macadam for being our Camp Hosts with the most!

• Craig and Micki Migasi for handling snacks and s’mores at the campfire.

• Melissa Gartner, Mark Esposito, and Dave Christensen for leading Saturday activities.

• Kirsi Turbedsky and Stephanie Cochran for setting up our kids’ play area.

We’re glad to be back and refreshed to continue spreading the joy of Jesus in Orange.

Church Camp 2024

Our whole church is getting away to the mountains this weekend. In just 48 hours we’ll be driving up to Idyllwild, CA for a spiritually refreshing time together.

Check out our Church Camp FAQs here. Contact the church office with any questions.

How Should I Prepare?

Pray for God’s blessing on our camp.

Think about who you want to make a connection with.

Check your email for a message from the church office with detailed instructions, directions, and a packing list. It will be hot this weekend. Bring a fan or two for your room.

If you have kids, listen to our Church Camp Playlist to get them ready to sing. Put it on during the drive.

What Should I do If I’m Not Going?

Visit our sister church in Santa Ana this Sunday. The members of Cross of Grace would love to worship and fellowship with you.

Since most of the church is away at Church Camp, we won’t host Old Towne Joggers this Saturday. But mark it down to join them next Saturday, October 12th. Info and newsletter sign-up are right here.

Isaiah 35

We gather every Sunday to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. God's Word is preached and the Holy Spirit transforms our hearts. We expect to encounter God and be equipped to better serve him each week.

Thanks to all who missed the sermon because you were serving during the service. We are grateful for you and couldn't have done it without you. Enjoy listening to the recording.

Our kids are joining us for each session at Church Camp next weekend. We’re designing the sessions with them in mind. One big way they’ll be involved is by leading us in a few songs.

Parents — prepare your kids now by putting on our Church Camp playlist in the house or the car. We won’t use all of these songs, but that’s the list we’ll draw from. Enjoy them with your kids now and get them ready to sing on the mountain.

In Newport Beach This Week

Our very own Pastor Eric is leading a retreat for the west region senior pastors of Sovereign Grace Churches. They’re meeting in Orange County this week. Take a moment to thank God for these men. Ask Him to fill them with the Spirit and wisdom as they love and lead their congregations. Pray that their fellowship would be rich and refreshing.

Thank God for Pastors

Beautiful Garden + Our Children =
One Rule to Rule Them All

We want to be good stewards of the Woman's Club garden. They‘ve made a beautiful space and we have more children. We have one simple rule:

Stay on the Bricks

Please ensure all children stay on the bricks at all times. They are free to run and play in the garden, just not in the planters and behind the building. Help us be the best tenants ever for the Woman's Club.
