First Christian Church

First Christian Church of Leisure World teaches from God’s word, the Holy Bible, most often verse by verse. It is a friendly church that welcomes all visitors.

Services

Saturday and Sunday services have the same message given by Pastor Bruce Humes. Sunday services, from 9:3010:45 a.m., are traditional, with hymnal music featuring Pat Kogok at the piano. Gregory Black will join the Sunday service this week.

Saturday services, from 9:30-10:45 a.m., are more contemporary, with Black leading in worship with guitar accompaniment.

Friday evening prayer meetings are from 6-7, and weekly Bible study, led by Jack Frost, meets on Wednesdays from 9:30-10:30 a.m.

All events are open to anyone interested.

The Message

The four pillars of the Christian faith are sound doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer. This week, guest speaker Gary Whitlatch will share from Acts 2:42, which reads, “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers.”

LWers are invited to attend the Saturday or Sunday service to hear Whitlatch share what these important activities meant to the believers of the new Christian church and what they mean to believers today.

Scripture of the Week

In Mark 6:34, Jesus is surrounded by people who recognized him as one who spoke words they were not accustomed to hearing. “When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.”

Announcements

Out of an abundance of caution, First Christian Church asks anyone who feels ill in any capacity to not attend service. Those who want to speak to someone at the church or have a need can call (562) 431-8810.
