A Covenant Church
Mark Ricalde | Youth & Collegiate
The Holy Spirit has been working hard in Acts chapters 1 and 2! This week, a miracle at the temple invites us to live with intention, and calls us to claim a patriarchal promise. Join me on Saturday as we explore Acts chapter 3!
"Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping, and praising God, he went into the Temple with them."
Sabbath School Options
Church Office Hours
The church office is open Monday - Thursday from 8:00am until noon for people who want to come in person. Thanks for remembering that we all still need to wear masks when indoors at the church (including in the church office) regardless of vaccination status. Thanks!
In-Person Worship Update
In keeping with Conference and CDC guidelines, we are requesting that masks be worn for all indoor gatherings at this time, regardless of vaccination status.
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."
Annual Bike Ride to the Beach - Sabbath Afternoon, September 25
Anaheim to Hunnington Beach via Santa Ana Bike Trail
If you would like to come along, we'll be starting from the Anaheim Stadium area by 3:00pm, and ending at the beach. Bring whatever you would like for dinner (we'll have a fire if you want to roast veggie links or marshmallows). Relaxing time, short devotional, and lots of good fellowship. Families provide their own transportation.

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.
