"Glorifying God"
Darrin Thurber | Senior Pastor
Moses asked to see it on Sinai. When Ezekiel saw it, he had to bow. The Psalmist shouted for joy about it. Jesus radiates it. John beheld it. Peter witnessed it on Transfiguration Hill. Christ will return enthroned in it and heaven will be illuminated by it. Glory! God's glory! One sampling, one glimpse, one taste of it and your life will never be the same.
Both services will be streamed live on the Calimesa SDA Church YouTube channel. Whether you join us in-person or online, we're glad you are worshiping with us!
"1 Shout for joy to God, all the earth! 2 Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious.

Updates to Stay Connected
In-Person Worship Update
We are excited to share the following updates regarding our
in-person worship services:
- Social distancing and capacity limits are no longer required. This means you are welcome to attend church without needing to pre-register. Masks are no longer required for those who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19. State and Conference guidelines recommend masking for children's ministry gatherings.
Drop Everything and Pray
Daily at 9:00 am & 4:00 pm
The Prayers and Squares ministry invites you to join us in prayer for the individuals who will receive the quilts. Prayer quilts will be available when we gather for church if you would like to tie a knot and say a prayer.
Are you interested in a growing ministry within our church? We are looking for volunteers to be a part of our media ministry team that is constantly changing and growing, especially with the times we are living in. Four areas of need are the Video production, Sound, Projection, and Lighting. Jesus once said, in an effort to share the good news in a world that so needed to hear it, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few."

Myrtlewood Wing Remodel Update
We have passed our electrical and plumbing inspections. Above is a photo of the stone front wall going up. The glass doors have been delivered and we are waiting for installation to occur early July in the fellowship hall and the green room.
If you happen to be on campus feel free to take a peak through the window. The area is an active work site and we do ask that you please not enter the area and to also not interrupt the crew.
If you'd like to make a donation online, you can do so by clicking on the red button below. You can also make a donation by mailing or dropping off a tithe envelope to the church. Make sure to mark in your tithe envelope that your donation is going to the Property Building Fund. Tithe envelopes can be placed in the dropbox outside the prayer room.
