SEPTEMBER 2013 NEWSLETTER
INSIDE THIS EDITION: 7 DAY CHURCH FAST - 9/3-6,9-11/2013 #PlantingChange - Life Group Launching Retreat - 9/7/13 Church Prayer Night - 9/27/13
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
FIRST ACTION:
THE GIVING OF OURSELVES “They even did more than we had hoped, for their first action was to give themselves to the Lord and to us, just as God wanted them to do.” II Corinthians 8:5 This month we will talk about giving. • Giving of ourselves. • Giving of our resources.
• Giving of our time. • Giving of our talents.
None of the above will be joyfully possible unless we understand two biblical concepts. The first is the Lordship of Christ. The second is the submitting of our entire self to that Lord. This month’s preaching series, will address these topics. I encourage you to read and study II Corinthians 8; this passage is the biblical basis for the entire series. (See promo below)
GENERATING GENEROSITY Ok, here we go again. What do they want now? Missions, love offerings, tithes, helping the needy, construction, first-fruits, covenants, mortgages, orphans, widows, clinics…stop already! I’m barely making it myself. How do Christians balance their own financial struggles yet remain generous? This month we will learn what the Bible says about your (?) hard earned money. Time, strength, wisdom, resources and spiritual gifts have all been placed, by God, under our stewardship. We will give account of our “talents”. This practical series on generosity will teach biblical principles and concepts about the blessings that come to a generous heart.
NEW SERVICE TIMES! We have added a second spanish service! New schedule: 10am English, 1:00pm Spanish, and 3:30pm Spanish.
Sunday, September 1, 2013: First Things First If the church is able to grasp this one overarching concept, it will change its attitude and perspective about giving self, resources, time and talents. Sunday, September 8, 2013: What Does the Bible say about My Money? What are the four purposes for money? Am I “living these out” in my daily finances? Sunday, September 15, 2013: Am I giving to Caesar what belongs to God? Does everyone else get “theirs” except God and his church? Why is it so easy to put God last when it comes to finances? This session will clear up misunderstandings about tithing and offerings. Sunday, September 22, 2013: Anointed, Blessed or Loved?
After it is all said and done, what do I want regarding my finances, my life and family? Which of the above 3 would you choose? Sunday, September 29, 2013: Revival! “Give and it shall be given unto you…” Let’s see how God responds when we willingly obey him in the area of finances!
GOD FILL US WITH YOUR SPIRIT!!! September’s prayer night will focus on the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. Bring your entire family! Invite a friend! “The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” Acts 2:39

PASTOR’S THOUGHTS / 7 DAY FAST
ANOTHER PRAYER NIGHT! FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 7:30PM - 9:30PM I can’t shake the image out of my mind. Over one 100 students are standing on the platform. More than 250 adults, arms stretched out towards them are praying fervently for their safety and protection as they begin another school year. Someone prayed: “Save them from the evil man, the evil women, from drugs, from violence...” Another image. About 60 business men and women standing on the same altar. The entire church praying a blessing over their businesses. Here’s one prayer that heard: “Lord, let business come from the north, the south, the east and the west...” Don’t miss out on this month’s prayer night. Since we are an Apostolic, Pentecostal church, we will pray for God to fill us with his Spirit - yes, the old fashion Holy Ghost. The Bible says: “This promise (receiving the Spirit) is unto you, and to your children...” (Acts 2:39). Let us claim this promise and pray that our children be filled with God’s Spirit. This baptism will flush out all foolishness and carnality. It is a necessary weapon for survival in this hour. I invite the entire church to fast on this day. Looking forward to great things in God,
Pastor Sam Valverde
