Whatever we understand about God's covenants has the power to shape everything else we believe about the Bible. Charles Spurgeon said that "he who well understands the distinction between the covenant of works and the covenant of grace, is a master of divinity.” Sunday School is where we'll become masters!

10:00am in the Woman's Club Garden

Come to Sunday School on August 21 as we begin a three week series that will help us discover answers to some of the following questions:

Who are the people of God?

Are God's promises to Israel also for the church?

Why don’t we baptize babies?

What covenant did God make with us?

 

Our neighborhood throws a huge party every Labor Day weekend. It's called the Orange International Street Fair and it feels like the whole world shows up. You have to see it to believe it.

Along with enjoying all the fun, there are many opportunities for you to get involved in our community by volunteering at a booth. It's a huge fundraiser for many non-profit organizations that serve our city.

We don't run a booth (yet!) but the Friendly Center is looking for volunteers right now. Go online an pick a time. Spend a few hours with your neighbors over Labor Day weekend.

Did you know that the Old Towne Preservation Association holds an annual home tour? Check out one of the houses that was on the tour this year and is now up for sale. It's located right around the corner from the Woman's Club.
