Sunday, June 4th

Celebration Sunday

This Celebration Sunday we will pause as a church family from our regularly scheduled sermons in order to testify about what we’ve seen and heard in the life of our church. We will celebrate that which God is doing in our church and in individuals as we rejoice as people receive the sacrament of baptism and all of us participate in communion. We will celebrate our High School Graduates, hear of some stories from people whose lives are being impacted by the Lord and we will praise God for all He is doing!

We also hope you will join us after service as we continue the celebration in the Friendship Center with cake for our grads!

We can't wait to share alongside you in all God is doing in our lives, in our congregation, and in our community!

Daily Prayers, a Digging Deeper guide and coordinating Life Group Curriculum are available each week on Sunday to further explore this Sermon Series. You can find those resources (for this week and ALL previous weeks) HERE or at the Welcome Center on Sunday.

Adventure:Kids News

This Sunday in Adventure:Kids, while the kids in kindergarten and up are upstairs in worship, our preschoolers will continue their Fruit of the Spirit lesson focusing on JOY this week.



 We'd love to have you work with your child on memorizing our key passage, which is Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." 

We can't wait to see you this Sunday!

Sermon notes and challenges for families are available on the Adventure: Kids Facebook page,

Adventure:Equip Spring Session

Join a Class every Sunday through June from 9am-9:45am

Adventure: Equip is how Adventure of Faith Church seeks to continue the tradition of prioritizing biblical literacy, practical theology, and spiritual practices like the early church. These are Sunday morning classes that focus on helping followers of Jesus to grow in their understanding of the Bible, doctrine, theology, and practice. They are participatory courses done in biblical community.

There's still time to jump into a new class! Check out the class descriptions and info for our Spring Session HERE!

From those just beginning their adventure with Jesus to those who have traveled far with Him, there is a place for you, and we hope you'll join us as we pursue Jesus together.

Adventure Finances

If you're interested in current church finances, see our April graphic included above here.

Adventure of Faith is a very generous community of believers. 

I know this because whenever we communicate a need, we meet it.

Q - I keep forgetting to give my offering on Sundays because we no longer pass a plate. It was a helpful reminder. Why don't we do that anymore?

A - We initially stopped passing a plate due to COVID-related concerns. Later, when we were able to return to that process, we found that we didn't necessarily want to. Adventure is full of faithful followers and generous givers. Each of you has allowed us to meet the financial needs of our church. While plate passing was a helpful reminder to you, for some it can feel demanding. We strongly believe that giving should be a free and joyful exercise.

To help you remember, you might consider signing up for automatic giving through Subsplash Giving our online program. If you have questions about this, you can stop by the Welcome Center or send me a short email. Thank you for supporting Adventure.

Next week I'll answer another financial question.

Please continue to send your Adventure-related financial questions to me at: admin@faithadventure.com

This section is a weekly reminder that God is Good!

He is good to us every single day & we will praise His name!

This week's God is Good moment was shared by Deanie Remenak:

I definitely saw & felt God's caring for me recently when I went to Calif. for my daughter-in-law's memorial service as well as to support my son in his loss in this sudden, unexpected, tragic loss of his wife. Because of the pandemic & other factors, I have not flown for several years and felt I had forgotten some things. When I went to check my bag, the young woman who was helping me, did all the regular stuff, then asked if I required wheel chair service. No, I never have. She consulted her computer, then looked me over and said, "I think you do." & promptly put it in the computer. She directed me across the walkway to an area reserved for those waiting to be wheeled to their gate. I don't know if she saw my age or that my gate was B20. the very last one at the end of that series of gates or what caused her to make that decision. Here is where my Lord stepped in, I believe, and orchestrated that decision. I'm a walker, so feel confident in trekking over a long distance. However this was the most wonderful occurrence. The young man wheeling me was so kind & considerate. he told me if I needed to use the Lady's restroom to just let him know. Did I want to purchase some food, just tell him where I'd like to stop. Then as we approached security he emptied my water bottle, put my carryon & purse on the correct mover, pushed me up to the place where they made sure I was not carrying any of those "no-no's" while watching my belongings on the other side of the cameras. No standing in line nor back & forth in those long lines to get through security. I couldn't believe it. In just minutes we had accomplished what usually takes an hour or more. On the other side of security, he refilled my water bottle, skirted around the big crowds at Gates 1-20, and keeps going to an area I had never noticed previously designated for those who will preboard when called. Can this really be happening to me? Yes, because GOD has bestowed another blessing upon me far above anything I could ask or even imagine. Eph. 3:20. When I arrived in Sacramento, there was a wheel chair waiting for me, this young man knew the airport which has grown considerably since I've been there and you have to take a tram to the old area where baggage is located, he wheeled me to the correct one & told me to look for my bag & when I saw it, he would pull it off for me. Then he asked if I was being picked up, did I know which door and he waited with me until my ride came.

I had the same wonderful service in reverse coming home. Is God good or what? I'm here to vouch for His goodness to me. Thank you for letting me share in detail. At age 90 I can't remember some of the proper terms, etc. but my story is sincere and truthful. Rejoice with me at the goodness of our creator, sustainer & strengthener.

Thank you Deanie, God is Good!!

This space in the newsletter is a small way we continue to celebrate the goodness of God all year long, and practice being aware of His presence in our lives. So, if you have stories of God's goodness big or small, hit reply to this email and send them our way. We would love to hear them, pray in praise over them and talk to you about sharing them.

To spur your thoughts to God's goodness start by asking yourself these questions:

What Good have you witnessed recently?

What Good has God brought into your life?

What Good has God prompted you to do for one another?

God is Good!!
