To fulfill our biblical call from God for sabbath and rest (Hebrews 4:9-10), our Church Council voted by consensus to close the church office Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day. It has been a challenging year for all of us and in order to recover and rest for the new year, we discerned God’s direction for the whole church to take a Selah, or a pause to breathe in new life for the coming year. To ensure a sabbath rest period for all leaders and staff, we will not hold a worship service on Sunday, December 29.
In this “Selah Week” take special time to love God and one another. If you need a worshipping community on Sunday, December 29, there are sister churches in the area to be in community with! Churches we’ve partnered with throughout the year like First Presbyterian Church of Inglewood, Holy Faith Episcopal Church and Saint Mark United Methodist Church come to mind!
God is giving us the gift of rest. Pray for the church. Pray for one another and we will worship together again on Sunday, January 5 at 10:00 am!
