Why Prioritize the Prayer Service?

Prayer is a privilege of the gospel. It’s a time to commune with God and one another. We get to know him, we come to treasure him and we have an opportunity to give him glory. Our prayers can even cause change. In his sovereignty, God allows us to be a part of his plan by using our prayers to bring about what he has already planned to do. And it all happens each time we get together to pray. Join us this Tuesday to take advantage of this amazing privilege.

• Tuesday (12/27)

• 7:00-8:00pm

• Women’s Club (121 S Center St, Orange, CA 92866)

• A Time of Singing, Reading God’s Word, and Prayer

We always want to pray for you. If you have prayer requests, submit them here. We’ll see you Tuesday.

We’re Grateful for All You Do

God’s grace is evident in the ways you give your time, energy, and finances. There are countless examples of generosity from this past year, and each one reflects God’s sanctifying activity in our church. You have been generous in every way, and we thank God for his provision (2 Cor 9:8-11).

Please note that we will not be receiving an offering during our Christmas Eve service. If you would like to make a 2022 contribution, a check sent to the church offices must be postmarked by December 31st. You also have the option to give online.

Galatians 3:1-9

The preaching of God’s Word is a vital part of our Sunday service. Each week, we gather to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed. We especially want to thank those who missed the preaching portion of the service to serve our church. If you were unable to listen, click the link below.

Go Tell It On the Mountain

Our Christmas Eve Service is this Saturday. We’re celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ who came to save us from sin. This is good news, and we want everyone to know about it. How can you get the word out? Here are a few simple ways to invite others to our service:

1. Speak up. The easiest way to invite someone is word of mouth. Simply reach out to your coworkers, friends, family, or anyone else you talk to this week and tell them about the service. A personal invitation goes a long way.

2. Get digital. Not going to see the one you want to invite this week? No problem. Simply take a few seconds and text or email them this link to our Christmas Eve Service page. It’s got all the information, and it’s fast and easy to send.

3. Share with the masses. Use social media to get the word out to everyone. Share or post a link on your profile to our Facebook page. Follow us and share our Instagram posts and stories. All you need to do is refer them to our profiles and posts.

Don’t wait to put these ideas to action. If you’re able, take one or two minutes right now and invite someone to the service. A simple invitation can make all the difference!

Take Advantage of Our Outreach Opportunities

We had another great semester at Orange High School. We’ve been partnering with Decision Point to train and equip students to lead a Christian club on campus. Students are learning more about their faith and telling others about Jesus. One student even gave his life to the Lord and began attending our church. It’s been great. Now, it’s your turn to get involved.

We want to connect the students at Orange High with our church. That said, we have a few outreach opportunities beginning next semester. You can help with our on campus outreaches, meet the students, pray for the students, host after school hangouts, and more. If you’re interested, please contact Andrew Maples. We can’t wait to see what the Lord does in the upcoming months.

Get Plugged In and Grow in Your Faith

Our small groups are designed for “one another” ministry. We meet regularly to love one another, speak truth to one another, pray for one another, and counsel one another. This is a vital part of our church. If it’s been awhile since you’ve attended or if you’ve never been, we would love to see you there. Try as many groups as you need in order to find the one that fits you best. Hit the button for all the details.
