A Note from Pastor Phillips:

Thank you for coming to worship with us today. If you are a first-time visitor, I would sure like the opportunity to meet you and welcome you personally. Because I believe in a Sovereign God, I don’t believe anything happens by chance. I believe you were brought here today for a purpose. I would love to help you discover that purpose, and to see if there is any way we as a church can bless and minister to you and your family. Please stop by the Resource Center after the service so I can shake your hand. I’d sure count it a privilege. Pastor Harold

Guest Speaker: Jeff La Borg

The Heart of a New Testament Pastor and the Cry of an Old Testament Prophet

Pastor Jeff is known for his bold and uncompro-mising preaching of God's Holy Word, the Bible. His passionate preaching comes from a deep the-

ological conviction that the Bible is infallible, inerrant and suffi-cient for any situation we face in life. Pastor Jeff stands to preach to the saints, plead with the unreached and provoke this nation to repent and return to God.

Our public servants and first responders are facing more dangerous and uncertain times in their occupations these days. While we watch the news and shake our heads at the senseless acts of those who seemingly care only about making headlines, our men and women are out there on the front lines, putting themselves between us and danger.

Please pray for those in our church and church family members who are serving as police officers, firefighters and emergency medi-cal technicians. To add a name to this prayer list, please call the of-fice so we can support him/her in prayer. Thank you.
