SABBATH MORNING WORSHIP

9:00 a.m. & 11:45 a.m. WORSHIP - IN PERSON and ONLINE - YouTube - Pastor Starla Stephan Leno

The Shepherd’s Psalm (23rd Psalm) offers us the refreshment of verdant pastures and still waters. We all long for that, but is there a way that we can hold the peace of this pastoral portrait in our hearts?

Join Pastor Starla this Sabbath, July 29, as we discover the Good Shepherd’s restoration of our souls.

Campus Construction Update!

We invite you to take a personal look at your Vision Capital donations at work. Take a short walk into our Ministry Complex or Fellowship Hall, and you will immediately see the results of many efforts made this week. You can find dimmable LED lighting and black ceiling tile in the Fellowship Hall.

New flooring has been installed in most of the Ministry Complex hallways. Fresh paint, LED lighting and clean ceiling tiles are coming into the classrooms.

One improvement you don’t have access to is the new solar inverters installed in our electrical room.

Thank you for your continued support of our Vision Capital Campaign! We'll be sure to keep you posted on the many exciting renovations happening on our campus right now!

Church Family

Recently, Elder Jacob Maxwell had the opportunity to spend three weeks in Thailand. He along with a small group of Loma Linda University School of Nursing faculty taught courses for the off-campus Masters in Nursing Education program at Asia Pacific International University. They had students from many countries in Asia and Africa, as well as Bangladesh, Mexico, and the South Pacific.

Maxwell says the experience was very enriching as he and his team developed relationships with the students, ate delicious food, and explored the beauty of Thailand, including its forests, palaces, and temples. Reflecting on the experience, Maxwell said, "What impacted me the most was the students’ humility, kindness, and eagerness to learn. I am so thankful for this experience, and the opportunity to continue growing as an educator and healthcare professional!"
