California in Drought Emergency

California Governor Jerry Brown declared last week that the state is officially in a drought. During this Wednesdays State of the State address he sought the aid of California residents in helping to get January 24, 2014 through this crisis, stating that it is imperative that we do everything Communion service at possible to mitigate the effects of the drought. We need everyone in Moriah Heights Church every part of the state to conserve water. We need regulators to rebalance water rules and enable voluntary transfers of water and we January 25, 2014 must prepare for forest fires. Communion service at The Hope Foundation Board has been examining improvements to Carmichael Church the water system at the Moriah Heights property. The property has its own wells from which it draws water and is not dependent on the January 26, 2014 public water supply, but there is increasing stress on the aging water Rocklin Health system. The current water tower was installed in the early 1950s Presentation Eliminate and renovations to the entire system are needed. The Rancho Stress for Success Murieta community, which neighbors the property, is already feeling the effects of the drought. The Board of Directors of the Rancho April 18-20, 2014 Leoni Meadows spiritual Murieta Community Services District conference declared a Stage 2 drought emergency at their meeting January 16. July 3-6, 2014 Also on January 16 the Sacramento Prophecy seminar at City Council adopted a stage 2 water Moriah Heights Church contingency plan.

LiveStream of Sacramento Service

Last Sabbath was to be the first online transmission of the Sacramento Church service. But due to technical difficulties many viewers were unable to catch the live stream. This week, after extensive testing, we believe the issues have all been ironed out. The service at Sacramento Church WILL be transmitted live online this Sabbath. You will be able to watch the service at 11am (PacificTime, for our friends watching from abroad) for free at http://www.livestream.com/sdarmlive The sermon will be presented by David Zic and will conclude the series on the family. The title for this weeks portion is The Family Firm. Last Sabbath we established the Biblical family and the three relationships it creates: family members/God, husband/wife, and parent/child. But what happens when one or more of these relationships breaks down? This week we will explore the ministry of family reconciliation.
