This Sunday we continue our Lenten Sermon Series with Pastor Andy's message from Psalm 90. Near the end of his life, Moses is led by God to the top of Mount Nebo on the border of the Promised Land. Keenly aware of his failures, Moses reflects on his life and is inspired to pray. There is something special about reflecting on life from the top of a mountain. Psalm 90 is the only Psalm written by Moses. It captures the inner desire we all have to finish our lives well.

Psalm 90:12-17; John 17:1-5
Worship: 9:00 & 10:30 a.m.

In order to respect the privacy of the families that are staying in Fellowship Hall for the Warm Winter Nights program, the youth invite you to come to the Teen Center for their fund-raising coffee and donut sale after worship. Proceeds from all sales will go to help with costs of the upcoming Mission Trip to South Dakota working with the Wings As Eagles Ministry.

For the third year in a row, we welcome the Walnut Creek Police Department to conduct their hand-to-hand combat training in our Teen Center this week. They have really appreciated having a large open space which is necessary for their training. They have also been thankful for the prayers that the staff has said for them, when we interrupt training and join them as a group.

Church Without Shoes (all God's people from the Diablo Valley) will be praying for 40 Hours in a row at Sanctuary Church in Concord to begin Holy Week. We would like to offer prayers up for everyone who is experiencing fear, anxiety, trouble, or are feeling lost or disconnected from God. If you, or someone you know, would like prayers, please email Gail in the office. Give first names only of the individuals and a brief description of the fear, anxiety or trouble and/or first name of those feeling lost or disconnected from God.

You are invited to join the group of people praying from 5:00 a.m. on Monday, March 26 to 9:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27 at Sanctuary Church (2250 D Commerce Avenue, Concord). Please sign up for your one hour time slot at the Welcome Center.

Good Friday worship is on March 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Easter Sunday worship is at 8:00, 9:30 & 10:30 a.m. The 9:30 service is a family celebration with worship for the adults and crafts and games in Fellowship Hall for the kids 5th grade and under. There is a light brunch following the 9:30 worship service with egg hunt for the kids.

On Easter Sunday, we are asking people to consider coming to the 8:00 service and serving at 9:30. We need people to help prepare food, direct crowds, and help kids. Let Angie know if you are willing.

Please help us practice hospitality by parking across the street on the Walnut Acres blacktop. If you or someone in your car has mobility problems, please feel free to park in our close parking lots.
