Wednesday Food Bank Distribution: Today and each Wednesday beginning at 5 p.m., our volunteers distribute boxes of pre-packed food into people’s trunks. If you or someone you know could benefit, do not hesitate to come/invite them to the church to come & receive. A big thanks goes out to the volunteers who help collect, organize, and distribute the food. We will continue such distributions on Wednesdays going forward. If you would like to help out in some manner (including helping with pickups from grocery stores 4 mornings per week), don’t hesitate to let us know!

Resumption of Dr. Maria Ovando-Gibson’s Discipleship Series Our sister church in Fullerton will be hosting a similar series of Sabbath afternoon classes that we had last year. We know some found out about the series late and wanted to know when/where they’d be happening again. The series is called “Vine and Branches Academy”, and the first 5-week session, called “Imitation: Following Jesus with intention in your everyday life” will be running from this Sabbath, June 11^th, through July 9^th, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. at the Fullerton SDA Church. Cost is $45, and that includes workbook materials you’ll be receiving. If interested, you can contact Dr. Maria @ mogibson@mac.com, or show-up on Sabbath afternoon there.

Online Giving: Please remember the church’s local funding needs in your giving plans.  Your tithes (10% of your increase) and offerings are most appreciated during this time. Adventist giving has both a phone app and a website you can donate through: adventistgiving.org. Any donations made here are applied directly, with no percentage skimmed off, and your donations will come in your year-end receipt, seamlessly integrated with donations made in the church. May God bless us as we partner with him in faith through our finances.
