This week I want to share with you some inspiring words from  Rick Warren who has written some good stuff over the years.  Here is an article that I wanted to share with you as we all discern our stewardship to the church this year. 

From Rick Warren: 

–“Every Sunday each of you must put aside some money, in proportion to what you have earned” (1 Corinthians 16:2, TEV).

It may surprise you to learn that Jesus taught more about money and possessions than He did about heaven or hell. The word “give” is used more than 1,500 times in the Bible, more than the words faith, hope, love or pray.

Why? Obviously, God doesn’t need our money. He’s not poor. But God does want us to become like Him and that will only happen if we learn to be generous. God is a giver — the most generous giver in the universe. Everything you have is a gift from God!

Fried Chicken (which we will order from Albertson's, so need monetary donations)

Potato or Macaroni salad, baked beans, and desserts

They are also collecting first aid supplies: bandages of all types and sizes, gauze wraps, etc. see Dorothy or Pete Pederson.

After 20 years, the Memorial Garden is undergoing an upgrade.  The goal is to transition from watered plants to xeriscaping, which negates the need for watering.  As part of this effort, the 6 large glazed ceramic pots are being replaced with smaller containers more suitable for new desert plants.  To help offset refurbishment costs, the pots are available to church members for $25.00 apiece.  Please communicate with Greg Ogden (blsc@ogdenengr.com) or Jenni in the Office to get one.  If you don’t need a large pot, additional donations to the Memorial Garden would be greatly appreciated.  This would help defray costs and speed up the transition to water-free landscaping in the Garden.

Come out to Catalina Brewing Company, grab a beverage of choice and settle in for good conversation about faith and life, led by Pastor Tony. 

Join us to watch The Chosen series season 3, we will watch 2 episodes each week with discussion time afterwards.

Season Three picks up where Season Two left off, with Jesus delivering the most famous sermon in history. What follows are the consequences of living out his teachings. The world changes because of the Sermon on the Mount, and the believers in (and enemies of) Jesus increase exponentially.

Come out and participate in our Academy's Trunk Or Treat for the kids! Decorate your trunk or truck bed, dress up if you wish, and hand out your candy and prizes to all our little goblins (oops, I mean our students).  If you are interested in participating, please contact the church office  office@beautifulsavior.net  or Becca Vorholzer, Academy Director BeccaV@beautifulsavior.net

Welcome into our community today as we seek to follow the one who gathers us.
May you feel a connection to the beautiful Savior in worship this day! May you join us in learning and seeking to live in G.R.A.C.E. (Generosity, Reaching Out, Advocacy, Compassion, Encouragement).   

We gather in the unity of Christ and are all invited to the Lord’s Table. He is the host —we are all guests. We celebrate that Jesus came to us and continues to come to us.  In faith we receive the body and blood of our Lord and Savior. We believe that he did this “for you.”
