Quote of the Week: God in seeking his glory seeks the good of his creatures because the emanation of his glory … implies the … happiness of his creatures. … The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted. (Jonathan Edwards)

We are searching more aggressively now for another facility. Please be on the lookout for possible church facility opportunities or industrial space opportunities in Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Garden Grove, Westminster or Midway City, and in a zone along the 405 freeway extending approximately two miles on either side of the freeway and ranging between Bolsa Chica Rd. on the west end and the 55 freeway on the east end. If you have any information or suggestions, please contact Ben Urbina and the facility search team.

Check your bulletins on Sunday for other upcoming meetings and events.

Pray for one another "without ceasing," especially those in need of jobs and business growth as well as for those with babies on the way.

Keep trusting His promises, He's never failed us yet and He never will!
