October 25

Worship Outside

no  reservations required

We are nearing the winter holiday season, starting with Halloween (All Hallows Eve) next Saturday, followed by All Saints Day on November 1 and All Souls Day on November 2.  As we observe the holidays please keep the pandemic in your thoughts and practice safe and prudent practices.


As we move into the fall of year, even thought it has been deemed safe to hold limited worship services indoors, for congregational safety reasons we are going to continue with our services under the tents and elm tree in First Presbyterian's back yard (weather permitting).


Now join us for the video of our service from October 25 as we Worship Outside.

October Mission of the Month

Impact

Since the beginning the Christian Mission has been to deliver the message of Jesus through both the Word and actions.  This is a hands-on approach and IMPACT delivers on both these levels.


From the IMPACT website here is the IMPACT Mission, Vision and Practical Application:

 IMPACT's Mission: is to form, train and send teams, prepared to serve Christ and his Church through cross-cultural mission journeys that nurture the ministries of global partners and train participants to be missionaries at home.

IMPACT's Vision: is to cultivate relationships that mutually impact Christians and ministries across the globe for Christ and his Kingdom. 

IMPACT journeys:  Teams spend 3 days in training together before being sent out to countries around the world to serve for 1-3 weeks.  Ministry opportunities vary from country to country visit Current Trips for information on trips being offered this year.

every Wednesday

In this time of COVID-19 the dynamic of worship is evolving from using ZOOM for studies and meetings to worshiping outside on Sunday mornings under the shade tree.  


Wednesday evenings, starting September 16, we will be asked to join with members of First Presbyterian and  Living Hope Church in Port Hueneme to hold a time for prayer, music and message on ZOOM. 


This period of about an hour is going to focus on scripture, how the gospel message fits in our lives today, spending time with our Lord in prayer, and even some special music.


At 7:00 PM on Wednesday, click on the Refresh picture above.  Your computer screen will be taken to the ZOOM website.  Type in the Meeting ID: 94 7018 5467 and click JOIN.  You will then be asked to activate  the launch application (zoom.us), click Open Link.  Next you will asked to type in the Password:  JESUS, and click JOIN.


And instantly you will join the family.  Have a Blessed time.
