Music has a special way of drawing us into close communion with our Savior.  The psalmist encourages us to “Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth!  Worship the Lord with gladness.  Come before him, singing with joy. (Psalm 100:1-2 NLT)

This Sabbath we are blessed to have the Sierra Master Chorale performing for us.  We trust that your thoughts will be directed heavenward as the wonderful music fills our sanctuary.  Our many thanks to this talented group for sharing in our worship service.

The Friendship Committee will reschedule the nature walk on the PG&E trail that was set to occur on Sabbath, May 18.  It will be planned again for another date soon.
