Prayer Line

 

Sometimes prayer can be difficult. We struggle to know what to say and how to say it. We can feel alone in what we’re going through. In those times, it’s great to have someone to pray alongside you. It doesn’t matter how big or small you think your prayer request is, if it matters to you, it matters to God.

 

You can reach out to our prayer line by calling or messaging 7729 (PRAY) from any phone during our opening times.

Greetings Friends,

 

Wow, it has been the most eventful week in our church calendar to date! This week both Pastor Scott and I have met with various members of the community, engaging in social events, and recognising the presence of God in this place. God is MOVING the people of Los Santos, and we stand with him, knowing that he will bless us as we step forward in faith.

It is my pleasure that we can announce, as of Sunday, that the Paleto Bay Church will be reopen, continuing our weekly sessions of worship and praise. We invite each and every one of you along to join in with the services and to stand before God. Pastor Scott has worked very hard on returning the church to its once stable position, working with the local Government to ensure that it meets building standards and is safe for us to continue to worship

in! 

 

We have also been working very hard to open up a connection with the Catholic Church within Los Santos, a local community coming forward to help us reignite the flame of the Holy Spirit within Rockford. We look forward to updating you with more on this in the coming weeks.

 

-- 

 

As we begin this peiod of lent, we give up something important, sacrificially in recognising Jesus' own path as he walked into the desert, to be tempted by the devil for 40 days.

 

This was a unique time in his own life, as he was tempted by Satan throughout this period. He fasted, and remained faithful, and part of our journey is being sacirificial, so that he could continue forward in his ministry during his time here on earth.

 

Want to learn more about the period of Lent and why we go through this? I will be focusing my Sermon on this on Sunday Morning!

 

--

 

This week alone, we have have great engagement with the local community, followed by a service today to celebrate the life of a local member of the community, Doris Malloway. We heard some wonderful stories, from a community very touched by her presence, one of which I believe she will be dearly missed.

As always, both Churches and all the Pastoral Team across the churches are available for enquiries regardings Weddings, Funerals and Baptism's. Should there be an occasion in your life that you'd like to mark under the eyes of God, please reach out to each and any of us via Email and we will arrange a time to meet to discuss things further.

 

In the meantime, when available I trust that you all know to reach out to the Pastoral Team via the Phone Number 7729 (PRAY) during the week, and we'll stand with you to support and guide where we can.

 

Next week, I look forward to giving you more information about the ways in which God has continued to bless this community.

 

Yours in Faith,

 

Pastor Greg.

Blaine County Christian Community Notice

 

Dear Community,

 

We are happy to announce that the renovations of the St. Brigid Baptist Church located in Paleto Bay are no longer ongoing and the church is now available for public use. We are also happy to announce that the first sunday service inside the church was able to occur on the 21st of February.

We thank everyone that attended the service and actively participates in our offered services. God has been with us the entire time during the reforming of the christian community up in Paleto and we can finally aid the local community of Paleto with our services yet again, due to the finished renovations.

 

You are all welcome to reach out to one of our local pastors, if you feel the need to talk or can't seem to find the right words to reach out to the heavenly father.

 

Stay tuned for our weekly news letter, as this was just a short notice about our church located in Paleto Bay.

 

Yours in faith,

 

Pastor Adler.

Another week, another update!

 

It has been the most wonderful experience engaging with the community here in Blaine County, BUT with God moving through us, we have had to extend our reach as an organisation.

 

Henceforth, we are now known as the San Andreas Christian Community. Working with our efforts to extend our reach, we're excited to partner with local groups to help bring the Church to life.

 

Thank you for your ongoing support as we work to establish a community here, and should you ever need to reach out, please talk with one of our team.

 

Warmest Regards,

 

Revd. Gregory Francis

Community Update - April 17th, 2021

 

In light of recent events, Great Chaparall Hill Valley Church is proud to announce the designation of an additional priest to the premises. Father Michael Ruffalo, recently ordained in the Diocese of Seattle, has been assigned to the Hill Valley Parish as his first formal appointment. As it currently stands, he operates alongside the prior leading minister, Father Adam Dorsey. We're very excited to open our doors more often for services, begin expanding our ministry, and support our brothers and sisters in Christ across the state.

 

Stay tuned for more updates on communal events! Contact information will be updated in the coming days! 

 

Reflecting on Eastertide

 

As we've drawn to a close on another Lenten Season, it is our duty to reflect and understand the next period in the Church's liturgical calendar. So often do we forget that Easter is more than just Easter Sunday! As we pivot from Lent, we enter into one of the most joyous seasons of the year - Eastertide. It's like spending 40 days preparing for the largest celebration of your life, and then when the party comes, you leave after ten minutes? Anyone would call this a waste! The season of Eastertide is meant to be a joyous celebration. We are meant to reflect and meditate on the 50 days following Christ's resurrection and the lead up to his Ascension. This is a time of excitement, a time of preparation, and a time of dedication. 

 

With this in mind, my brothers and sisters, I bid you all a joyous season and look forward to meeting many new faces over the coming weeks. 

 

Yours in Christ,

Father Michael

Christ is Risen: The world below lies desolate
Christ is Risen: The spirits of evil are fallen
Christ is Risen: The angels of God are rejoicing
Christ is Risen: The tombs of the dead are empty
Christ is Risen indeed from the dead, the first of the sleepers,
Glory and power are his forever and ever.
   Hippolytus of Rome (c. 170 – c. 235)

Dear Community,

 

As you all may have noticed, our beloved church in Paleto Bay has suffered a rather severe fire a few weeks ago. We are actively working together with the local community and the State Fire Marshals to find out how this could have occured. We ask all the members of our dear community to stick together in times like these, as these times ask for unity and faith. The lord is merely testing our faith, and together we can withstand this test of faith. His loving embrace still engulfs us and his protecting hand is still above us. Together and in faith we can make it through these discouraging times.

 

On a more positive note, together with the Mojito Inn and the Fire Department in Paleto Bay, we managed to raise over $500,000 that will be used for the reperations and renovation of our beloved church. Special thanks go to Christian Rothschild for standing behind our beloved community in these times and helping a lot in the past few weeks. We also thank everyone that donated at the charity event. May god bless the soul of anyone that donated some money.

 

These times call for unity, so we will hold the service in the parking lot of the Mojito Inn if we have to, thanks to all the support we are getting from the local community. 

 

 

Yours in faith,

Revd. Scott Adler.

 

 

 

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,

my glory, and the lifter of my head.

I cried aloud to the Lord,

and he answered me from his holy hill.

 

- Psalm 3:3-4
