The Prayer Ministry is looking for volunteers to be part of a team that prays for those in our congregation who request prayers for themselves or a loved one. This is a confidential ministry that requires a very small investment of time, but its impact is HUGE for the recipient. Please contact Heidi Butcher for more information at 714/319.5040.

King David is credited with writing 72 of the 150 Psalms in our Bible. They are a diverse lot, coming from the same author, are there any themes or similarities? And do any of them reflect episodes or times in King David's life? We'll take a helicopter look at his Psalms and then zero in on a few that are so timeless, we still use them today in our spiritual life. Join Diane Wood Gaughen on Wednesday, January 29th at 4:45pm in the Choir Room to learn more about King David's Psalms. Bring a friend and plan to stay for dinner on the Plaza.

See this incredible thread running from Genesis through Revelation. God enters into a binding agreement with His people and always keeps His promises. Trusting Him as a covenant partner frees us from the bondage of worry and anxiety.
