Verdugo Community Church Worship Service for May 2, 2021

Verdugo Community Church continues with its in-person service today. We begin with song, led 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 calls us to worship with a reading from Psalm 62. Pastor David Saltzman opens us with prayer. Heidi leads us in more praise and worship music. Albert Ramseyer focuses us on the concerns of the congregation and the world with the Prayers of the People. Pastor Daniel Whipple, from Rose City Church, looks at John 15:1 – 8 to encourage us to abide in Jesus with his sermon “Growing Pains.” Pastor David then leads us in Communion, so you are invited to have bread or crackers and a beverage ready to participate.

Verdugo Community Church is transitioning back to in-person services, and is working out the technology to continue making its Sunday service available to you as a livestream online on Facebook, with an audio copy at https://verdugochurch.podbean.com.
