Theme: Joy in Jesus' love Scripture: John 15:9-11 This week Rev. Renae Extrum-Fernandez welcomes the children; children from Wayside UMC in Vallejo read scripture and The Lord's Prayer; Carrie Todd from Wayside gives a message about a glass of water; and Mort visits Pastor Rod's office to sing but does a little bit more when left alone... watch to the very end for a special message for those who mother kids, especially kids like Mort!
Sometimes it’s difficult for us to love others, Jesus. It can be discouraging when we don’t see any good coming from what we do in love. But you’ve never failed in your love, or lost faith in us. Thank you so much for the joy of knowing you and your never ending love.
Consolidation Ballots have been mailed to each active member of our congregation.
