The annual Dwell Community festival took place this past Saturday and saw about 2800  attendees! Praise God for bringing great weather even with the threat of storms. Many of those who attended were guests and some kids had such a great time that they want to return to check out a meeting. A big thank you to the over 200 volunteers who made this event possible. We look forward to seeing you all next year!

Last Tuesday, the high school ministry hosted a special Dime-a-Dog night event! Over 300 students heard a teaching from Doug O'Malley on The Good Samaritan. After the teaching, they drove to the Clippers Stadium and enjoyed the baseball game and 10-cent hot dogs. Praise God that he provided great weather for this event. Join us in praying that the 30+ first-time guests would come back to learn more about God.

This is open to new moms and moms-to-be and will cover common concerns of new moms and the needs of their babies in the first year.

A devotional from
Brad DuFault

Brad Dufault examines Philippians 2:13, unpacking two distinct ways God works in believers: giving power to act on good desires, and actually changing what we want in the first place. He addresses a common misunderstanding—that we can wait to feel like obeying before we act—arguing instead that trust is proven through action, even when our desires haven't caught up yet.
