Happening this Saturday!

Praying for our community and beyond. Join us under the Tent on October 3 at 10 am. During these difficult times, we want to com together in prayer and praise.

This week Pastor Matt shares a word of encouragement and a challenge based on 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Our Challenge:
1. Reach out if you are in need of encouragement. You are not alone!
2. Be an encourager to others! Reach out to those around you. Send an encouraging note or text. Give someone a call.

Children's Ministry is collecting donations of candy, stickers, small toys, and/or school supplies. We are putting together a fall fun bag for the children of Orchard and Sonshine Preschool in lieu of Trunk or Treat. Bring to the church office by Oct 15.

This Week's Message!

Oct 04 - Ripe with Goodness

Galatians 5:22, Mark 10:18, Galatians 6:10, I Peter 2:12, Romans 12:21, Matthew 12:35

Our lives should bear the fruit of goodness. God is good and he calls us to do good and to be good to one another and to seek to make the world a better place.

$Seeking Shalom - Following Christ's call to reconciliation in our fractured world. October 10 at 9 am at Orchard Community Church under the tent. Zoom Option is available. Email Pastor Matt Hoyt for the zoom information. Gather among friends wiht Mission Presbytery churches to explore the vision and challenges of enacting the reconciliation of the Gospel.$

Seeking Shalom Invite from Pastor Jonathan LaBarge

One of our Kitchen Basics kits was delivered this week!

"One of the perks of moving in folks is seeing all of the places the case managers help find, it is an arduous journey for sure. I love it when the case managers contact me to help move in, our stuff is easy compared to theirs. But they say this was the missing component, they could move folks in but they didn’t have things to set them up, so all of us together are doing amazing things." - Kathy Powell

Parent Life

Enjoy the company of other parents at 9:00 on Zoom (or in the library eventually) on Sunday mornings discussing what God says about life as a family. Make life more enjoyable and less frustrating by strengthening your relationship with God. Find life filled with opportunities. We will be following the children's curriculum, using stories from throughout the bible, taking some from unusual perspectives.

This group is facilitated by Rich & LuAnn Smith. Please email Rich to get the Zoom Link and password at R_smith122@hotmail.com

Sunday Morning Children's programs.
Children are always welcome in the service and we do not mind the noises that come with children. Children are a healthy sign of a healthy congregation.

Orchard Kids Sunday School (For preschool through 5th grade)
We encourage families to bring your own blanket and beach chairs and distance on the lawn as much as you like. Children will worship with their families and be dismissed following the kids’ message, escorted by our Orchard Kids’ Leaders to our beautiful outdoor classroom space in the children’s play yard. We will have our Bible story, activities, crafts, and games in a specially designed format following current health and safety guidelines. Parents, please come to the children’s area immediately following the worship service and find all of your children in one place. Each family will receive a “My Church Bag” to be brought each week with basic supplies already included plus items from home: water bottle and mask for each child and a blanket for all siblings. Our team is so excited to see your family! See you Sunday!

Nursery care for children birth to 3 years old is available by RSVP only to Melinda Hoyt at melinda@orchardventura.org.
