A New Generation
by Ishi Vega | February 3, 2025 12:49 PM
Today was our first day of food distribution and we visited 6 families from the community. The teens from the church came to serve with us and experienced ministry. They are going to be the ones doing this in the future.

Promises
by Ishi Vega | February 3, 2025 10:23 PM
Denise talked about promises, how good and important they are for our life.
God is ALWAYS with me , He’s ALWAYS in control, He’s ALWAYS good , He’s ALWAYS watching and one of the most important ones He’s ALWAYS victorious !
We also had time to bond with each other and build deeper relationships!

Jesus Calms the Storm
by Laura Vasquez | February 3, 2025 10:28 PM
Today in VBS we learned that although times might be hard and we might get scared we can always pray and ask Jesus for help and there is nothing He can't do.
We also had a ton of fun playing and spending time together.

Only if You are Young
by Ishi Vega | February 5, 2025 7:39 AM
Denise shared a beautiful message with the elders in the church. She talked about how important it is to keep growing. Sometimes we think that because we fulfill a purpose or because we are not young anymore there’s nothing else to do, but the mission never ends !

Our friends matter

Ginger taught the kids about the paralytic man, how the faith of his friends help to Jesus to heal him.
She also taught them that their surroundings matter, that our friends can impact our life’s in a positive or negative way

Lean into Worship
by Ishi Vega | February 5, 2025 6:13 PM
Alli shared about the difficult situations that we go through as a women how we can relay in God and how we can worship and praise him in the middle of the pain

Miracles
by Ishi Vega | February 6, 2025 8:07 AM
In kids ministry we talked about one of the biggest miracles in the Bible, how Jesus fed 5000 people with 2 fish and 5 loaves. There’s nothing impossible for him and if we ask him for a miracle he’ll do it
“They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.”
Mark 6:42-44 NIV

Teens night
by Ishi Vega | February 6, 2025 8:53 AM
We had an amazing time with the teens, we played some games we shared, we ate pizza and of course we heard the word of the lord, Jana shared about the importance of loving God for who he is and not for what he give us, just like Job, he truly loved Jesus despite everything!

See you fam !
