Verdugo Community Church Worship Service for July 25, 2021

We begin with a instrumental medley by Music Director Heidi Sandoval. Lead Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom welcomes all to worship and to participate in the life of our church family. Dale Reynolds and Michelle Hensley call us to worship by a Responsive Prayer based on Psalm 40. Heidi leads us further in praise and worship music. Albert Ramseyer focuses on the concerns and praises of the congregation in the Prayers of the People. Justin Baker takes us through Romans 5:1 –5 where Paul explains how “Suffering Produces Perseverance; Perseverance, Character; Character, Hope.” Pastor Gail leads us in Communion, so you are invited to have bread or crackers and a beverage ready to participate.

Verdugo Community Church is again having in-person Sunday services at 10:00 a.m., but continues to make its Sunday service available to you online at this site.
