…Tell the people of Israel, when you arrive at the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a “sheaf” of the first grain that you harvest…Lev. 23:9A
He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of FirstFruits of all He created…James 1:18
Dear Family, Church Family and Friends,
The Lord is reminding us of our commitment and dedication to the work that He has placed in our hands, here in Los Angeles and beyond. Many of us sense the end of “life” as we know it. Signs all around us tell us that it will not be “life as usual”. With this in mind, we are pressing toward renewal in our personal development and devotion to God. We would like to encourage you and your family to do the same. We realize that work and other obligations often keep many of us from coming to church. This is just part of the reality. We would like to challenge you to carve out a new reality for you and your family. Set aside each first Sunday as a family time to come to worship. We will come together every First Sunday for a special celebration that will bless and restore our tired souls, refresh and renew our faith in God. It will be a time of focused fellowship. Invite family and friends. Contact members that are missing and invite them back. We give the very best to our employers and to other family obligations, now we encourage you to remember your creator first and give Him back the First Sunday of every month. Come prepared to experience more than an event. Experience God again,
like it was the First time…
