SERVICE AT 11 AM
A Story to Share by Pr. Hazel Marroquin
Join us this Sabbath as Pastor Hazel continues the sermon series "Jesus... For Times Like These." This week's sermon is "A Story to Share" (Luke 24:44-48). The disciples had an incredible story to share, having experienced the ministry of Jesus firsthand. With Jesus in our hearts, we too have a story to share. Jesus is our good news and through Him we are reconciled with God. He fulfilled prophecy, and we are called to spread the message of hope found in Him, embracing the universal reach of the Gospel.
Our Praise Team this week is led by Sam Labetant. The entire service will be livestreamed here. Invite friends to watch.

Why Do We Meet on Saturday?
Saturday or the Sabbath is a day of rest, reflection, enjoyment, and worship. It dates back to the seventh day of the creation week, when God stopped His work and took time to rest and savor all He had created — setting an example we still follow. On the Sabbath day, we too pause from our work, reflect, and rejuvenate. We put aside the cares of the world so we can focus on our relationships and spend time together. Sabbath rest and worship give us the perfect opportunity to connect with God and with each other.
