Growing People Change

It has been an eventful week around here. God has blessed us in so many ways. 7 people gave their lives to Christ in our service on Sunday. Thank you so much for praying this past week.

On Saturday and Sunday we gave away over 1,000 Venice Church pens to visitors at the Venice High School Centennial. Thank you to Paul Henson, Tom & Sharon Nichols, and Daniel Sweet for manning our booth at the event. Special thanks to Eddie & Dani Cross for giving their entire weekend to organize our booth and represent Venice Church so well at the centennial.

And…a beloved part of our church family went home to be with the Lord. Mrs. Adelia Walpole went home to be with the Lord last Wednesday. We are thankful for the promise of Scripture. She is absent from this body, but she is in the presence of the Lord. She was a blessing to all who knew her. Some of you knew her as Grandma Walpole. Some of you knew her as Shirley Twitchell’s mother. Mrs. Walpole loved Jesus and was a great encouragement to me. Her service is this Friday at 1:00 PM at Gates, Kingsley, Gates in Culver City. Please pray for Shirley and the rest of the family during this time of loss.

This Sunday we wrap up our series called That’s How We Roll. We will talk about this truth…according to the Scriptures growing people change. I look forward to seeing you then.
