Join us as we boldly approach the throne of God. Praying for the needs of our church and the good of our city. 9am at the Warm house. Kids are welcome. Invite your friends.
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” (Eph 3:20-21)

PRAY. OUTREACH. SERVE.
The Bridge Course is back September 14th! We’re gearing up for 10 weeks of building community, wrestling with life’s big questions, and exploring the Christian faith with our Santa Ana neighbors.
3 WAYS TO PARTNER
Pray - Pray for the course this fall. Asking God to go before us, bring guests around the table, and open their eyes to the glory of Christ. Ask God to burden your heart for someone you could bring, and then ask for the boldness to invite them!
Outreach - Pray and then go! Make the invite, share the info on social media, and tell a friend, family member, or co-worker about the Bridge. In addition to this, make plans to go into our city on Saturday, September 12th to extend the invite to our neighbors in French Park and DTSA. We’ll meet at the Ebell at 9:45am and then spread out across our neighborhood. RSVP with Brian Marcus.
Serve - Volunteer with the course. We are in need of female volunteers to facilitate table discussion and a few more meals. Sign-up to volunteer or book a meal.
Use this digital flyer to invite your friends. Find all the details for the Bridge Course here.

THREE WAYS EXODUS 33 TEACHES US HOW TO PRAY
On Sunday, we witnessed God and Moses going back and forth. Coming to the negotiating table. Watching Moses play the role of mediator to maintain Israel’s covenant relationship with God. He did this by praying for them.
He wrestled with God like Jacob in Genesis 32. Striving in prayer. Persisting in his requests for the people. Refusing to let go until God’s blessing came to them. We are invited to do the same. Click the link below to learn how to pray like Moses.
READ ABOUT IT HERE
EXODUS 33:1-17
The story of Exodus took a tragic turn in chapter 32. Israel should've built God a house but they bowed down before a golden calf instead. 3,000 fell by the sword, the rest were visited by a plague, and the chapter concluded with an unresolved tension. No atonement has yet to be made. No forgiveness has been given. Israel’s relationship with God has yet to be repaired. So, in Ex 33, Moses prays. He asks God to be gracious them, go to the Promised Land with them, and stay with this stiff-necked and rebellious people. And amazingly, God says "yes." Their story goes on. And the way it all works out has everything to do with our stories too. Teaching us how to pray. Pointing us to the Savior who prays for us.

ALL LADIES, HIGH-SCHOOL AGED AND OLDER ARE INVITED
Each month, the ladies of CGSA gather for a time of discussion, encouragement, and prayer. All to promote the growth of women in Christ as women in Christ.
Tonight, they’re kicking off a study in the Proverbs. A book filled with wisdom from God that teaches us how to live well in his world. And who doesn’t need wisdom? Come learn how “the wisest of women builds her house,” and experience that “the fear of the Lord is a fountain of life” (Prov 14:1, 27).
No reading or homework is required. Guests are welcome. We hope to see you there!
JOIN IN TONIGHT AT 7PM AT THE Schlieder HOME
8/28 @7:30PM
Join us as we lift high the name of Jesus and make our requests known to God. Gathering together with believers throughout our city to seek revival in our city.
Find the event flyer here. Invite your friends. Pray for God’s glory to shine forth in Santa Ana.
SEE YOU AT HOPE ALIVE CHURCH
REMINDER: NO ELEMENTARY CLASSES THIS SUNDAY
This Sunday is the 5th Sunday in August, so we’ll only have a combined Nursery/Preschool Class for kids 5 and under. All other kids will remain with us after the singing portion of our service to hear the preached word outside of their usual classroom setting. Parents, please help your kids follow along and sit quietly during the sermon. Activity sheets will be available in the foyer.
