Join us for lunch after the service as we love each other, meet our neighbors, and spread the joy of Jesus in French Park.
WHAT TO PLAN FOR
Bring a brown bag lunch with you to church for every member of your household
Bring a lawn chair or folding chair for every member of your household
Plan on walking straight from church to French Park immediately after the service has ended. It’s 200 yards north of the Ebell Club, so no need to drive. You may keep your car parked in the Ebell parking lot.

We know you’re grateful for the Lord’s provision of our meeting space at the Ebell Club of Santa Ana. We want to make sure that while we’re there, we’re good tenants that the owners and Ebell Board love hosting. One of the ways we can continue to do this is by following the rules. These include:
No running inside the building - this includes the courtyard.
Help kids stay in designated areas and pathways - keep them out of the plants and off the trees. No climbing any guardrails.
Make sure we are out of the building by 12:00 pm, if not sooner.
Help keep the entrance clear once we have cleared out of the building. There are often events and tours scheduled immediately after our time concludes. Let’s make it easy for the Ebell staff to give their other clients as positive an experience as possible.
These simple, but important guidelines will help us to take care of the Ebell Club for as long as we have the privilege of being there.
Surprisingly, the most common of all psalms in the Bible are psalms of lament. These are songs expressing despair, sadness, grief, sorrow and hopelessness to God. They face the reality of life in a fallen world head on and give honest expression to what we feel in our hearts, especially during the prolonged trial. Psalm 39, though, is even unique among the psalms of lament - it never turns the corner. It’s sad from beginning to end. Why read and love this psalm? Because you don’t always experience a quick and clean resolution in your deepest suffering. Yet, what Psalm 39 very importantly teaches us is that even when you can’t sing a happy song, you can sing a hopeful one. Listen to this week’s sermon to learn more.
We’re already halfway through our Psalms summer sermon series. Following this series, we’ll head into the fall and winter of 2021 with the book of 1 Samuel. To help you follow along with this series and dig deep into God’s Word revealed through this wonderful Old Testament book, not only are we recommending the 1-2 Samuel ESV Journal for you, we are purchasing a journal for every adult in the church. These will be distributed during an upcoming Sunday service.
So, begin reading through 1 Samuel. Find a favorite pen to accompany this journal. And get ready to take sermon notes as God writes His truth on your heart.

Last fall, after a 5 year process of writing and revision, our family of churches approved an expanded statement of faith. This statement is a document that represents a summary of the teaching of Holy Scripture on key points of doctrine essential to the beliefs, conduct, and witness of our family of churches and it is now available in Spanish! We are excited to share this rich, robust, and God-glorifying compilation of truth with our Spanish-speaking church members, friends, and neighbors!
