Our monthly women’s meeting is a time for women to come together to serve and encourage one another. It is a place for both members and guests. All women, high school-age and up, are invited. There are no expectations and no need to bring anything.
The location for this week’s meeting is different from the usual. Please contact Krista Alvarez at krista@sovgracesantaana.org for the address and more details.
Note: Registration is currently open for youth only. Space is extremely limited. If space remains after July 28, parents and guests may register as well. All retreat volunteers have been screened, background checked and comply with our current childcare policies.

We see reading as a valuable way to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Pet. 3:18). We want to point you in the direction of books that help you to know God and inspire you to love God and your neighbor.
This month’s book is The Gospel by Ray Ortlund. It’s an accessible book at just over 100 pages, yet a book that will help you understand the contours of the Gospel and understand its application in your life and in the church.
(Please contact pastors for scholarship information if purchasing this book presents financial hardship)

This summer, we’ll spend six weeks exploring the contours of the message of “Good News” under six sequential headings which will help us to both understand, explain and believe God’s message of salvation. This past Sunday was the first message in the series, which explored the reality of a God who has always been there, who has always been good and yet, has always been King. Stay tuned for the next five messages in our series.

Through the collaborative efforts of In House Strategy and Israel Carbajal, we’ve put together short 1.5 minute video that explains who we are as a church and why we’re here in Santa Ana. Take a moment to watch it and be reminded of what God has done and is doing through this small church. Be inspired to continue on in faith for what God might do through you personally.
You can also share this video on Facebook and Instagram. Our hope is that more Santa Ana neighbors become aware that we’re here, providing opportunities to share with them the joy of Jesus. Please pray toward that very end.
Can you answer that question? Can your friends, neighbors and family members? In order to believe the Gospel, a person must first rightly understand the Gospel. This summer, we’ll spend six weeks exploring the contours of the message of “Good News” under six sequential headings which will help us to both understand, explain and believe God’s message of salvation.

This Sunday is the first “facet” of the Gospel: God.
Jeff Schlieder, whom we have had the privilege of watching grow as a preacher of God’s Word in Santa Ana, spent this past Sunday in Orange. He sent greetings from Santa Ana and proclaimed the Gospel to the city just north of us. In one sense, this was simply another guest preaching appearance. In another, this was an expression of gratitude from a small church plant to the church who sacrificed people like Jeff to see the Gospel proclaimed in another city. We praise God for our sister church and for the opportunity to continue in partnership with them.
