UPCOMING EVENTS
CURRENT WORSHIP SERIES // WANTING SOMETHING MORE
The journey of self-discovery and transformation frequently leads us through challenging and intricate terrain. In this series exploring the Gospel of John, we witness Jesus confronting the difficulties and criticisms of those He came to help. As we embark on our own personal pilgrimages, we find our experiences echoing His at various junctures. It is in these moments that our deepest yearnings discover their true fulfillment through unwavering trust in God, just as Jesus demonstrated. Join us in exploring what victory truly looks like as we navigate the complexities of our own transformative journeys together.
MONTHLY POTLUCK

Sign up to volunteer for food service or contact reypraise@gmail.com. Monetary donations, pre-packaged snacks, desserts, and drinks are all welcomed.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE - WEEK OF ENCOURAGEMENT // MARCH 9–16 // 7PM NIGHTLY
The Southern California Conference is hosting our next conference-wide virtual week of spiritual encouragement this March, themed: “To Be One.” Join us as we look at the biblical meaning of unity and learn together what it means to live in unity.

TODAY // THE WELL LUNCH & LEARN / 1–3PM.

GET INVOLVED IN PEACE AND JUSTICE
Let's talk together, listen and consider what are the needs/challenges in our community (inside and/or outside the church walls/fences). How is God already at work on those challenges? Consider what, if any, part you want to join in with God on his (on-going) mission. Read Luke 10 to prepare for our discussion. Questions?
