Anyone can enter. You don't need to attend our church. Fabulous prizes. No rules. If you call it chili, we will judge you!
Sunday, August 28, 1pm at the Woman's Club Garden
*Please note that this is a BYO picnic. Everyone can taste the chili, but please bring your own lunch to eat.
Join us as we read 12 books in 12 months. This month we are reading a book about a current issue. Here are a few recommendations:
Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS by Joby Warrick
Under Our Skin: Getting Real about Race. Getting Free from the Fears and Frustrations that Divide Us. by Benjamin Watson
Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance
Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today's Students by Allan Bloom
Makers and Takers: The Rise of Finance and the Fall of American Business by Rana Foroohar
Younger readers may enjoy Bloodlines by John Piper. It's free so you can read it before recommending it.
We publish updates on our financial status throughout the year. A final annual report is published every Fall.
These figures represent the grace of God at work in the members and friends of our local church. It's unmistakable. God is being kind towards us and we want to thank Him and you.
Thank you.
Of course, numbers are only a small fraction of all the way our church is contributing to the ministry of our church. Wouldn't it be great if we could publish a monthly report on your generous affections for one another? Or all the hours you spend together? Thank you for living no longer for yourselves but for God and your neighbor!
May the accounting of His provisions encourage your faith. Please continue to pray that we would steward it all for the advance of His gospel and the good of His church.

God has used many books to help shape the life of our church. This is one of them.
If you want to grow in glorifying God by encouraging others, then this book is a must. And here's the sweet part: you can get an e-book copy for FREE.
Being a musician in our church is a delight. There's nothing more rewarding then leading people in song who love to sing. And Sovereign Grace Church loves to sing!
Our aim on the worship team is to make musicians who exhibit "undistracting excellence" as they offer their talents to bring God glory and build His church. Musicians who get more joy from hearing God's people sing than from performing.
If you are a member or a regular attender pursuing membership, fill out the form below and we will be in touch about having you audition for the team. The commitment is for 1 year beginning in September.
*Auditions are scheduled for 8/14/2016, so please fill out the form ASAP!
Redeemed sinners sing about their redemption. We do it every Sunday.
Have a listen and then come ready to sing with us.
Not In Me
No list of sins I have not done,
No list of virtues I pursue,
No list of those I am not like,
Can earn myself a place with You.
O God! Be merciful to me—
I am a sinner through and through!
My only hope of righteousness
Is not in me, but only You.
No humble dress, no fervent prayer,
No lifted hands, no tearful song,
No recitation of the truth
Can justify a single wrong.
My righteousness is Jesus' life,
My debt was paid by Jesus' death,
My weary load was borne by Him
And he alone can give me rest.
No separation from the world,
No work I do, no gift I give,
Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands;
I cannot cause my soul to live.
But Jesus died and rose again—
The pow'r of death is overthrown!
My God is merciful to me
And merciful in Christ alone.
