Join us this coming Sunday to hear Guest Preacher, Orchard's Youth Director, Cody Schulze give a message from John 2:1-12. The story of the wedding of Cana is unique to the gospel of John but it shares a theme of this Gospel by displaying the divinity of Jesus. This story first came alive to me in a Biola classroom as I finally understood how Jesus’ god-hood encounters everyday life leading to the removal of shame and the glorification of God. Service starts at 10:30 am! Join us under the Tent or on our live stream (OrchardCommunity.Online.Church)

How should we respond? As we wait for the final Presidental results to be announced let's prepare ourselves as God has called us to do in what our response will be.
