As most of you probably heard on Sunday, Aaron has taken a sabbatical through the end of the year and will return in early January. The purpose of a sabbatical is to take an extended break to completely unplug from ministry and come back recharged, passionate about ministry, and passionate about God.

During this time, I’d like to invite you to pray regularly for Aaron and his family. Also please pray for the leaders of our church who continue to minister during Aaron’s break. If you need to speak to an elder, please reach out to Gary, Mike, or Ryan. If you have other needs or questions, please reach out to Monica and she will direct you to the correct person.

Thank you for your continued generosity. Our giving through September is over $10k above what we expected while spending is right in line with what we budgeted.  God provides for each of us and calls us to give generously.

Last Sunday we witnessed the baptism of several people who have decided to make a public declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!

Last Sunday we also witnessed the dedication of several children. As well as the congregation making a verbal commitment to support these families as they teach their children what it means to be a follower of Jesus.  Please join us in praying for them regularly.

Every marriage has its strengths and its stresses. There’s not one that can’t be improved, fine-tuned, made stronger—or even overhauled—if needed.

In this six-session series made in partnership with FamilyLife, discover a transformative marriage resource designed to help you explore new levels of intimacy, communication, and connection with your spouse.

Whether you’re a newlywed or have been married for decades, this series can be your path to a stronger, more beautiful masterpiece of God’s handiwork.

Join us Saturday, 11/8 at Sierra Grace Fellowship from 9am-4pm. Cost is $40 per couple which includes workbooks and lunch. Scholarships are available if needed.

Childcare is not available for this event.

Contact Monica 530-401-6423 or Jason 530-305-7762 if you have any questions.

Looking for a way to serve? We have a new “Help Wanted” volunteer board which lists opportunities for you to get involved while using your gifts and talents in various ways.

Specific areas of need are in the youth programs: 

Nursery volunteers & teacher assistants – kelli@sierragrace.org

Small group leaders & childcare – noah@sierragrace.org

Small group leaders & graphic design – heidi@sierragrace.org

Take a look at the board which is located by the children’s check in counter and contact the ministry leader. You’ll be a blessing while being blessed!

We have an active group that prays regularly for requests from our body. To be part of the prayer email chain, send an email request to prayer@sierragrace.org or fill out a Connect Card, and you will be added to the group. The emails will come from Cathy Picha who has faithfully led this ministry for many years.

If you have a prayer request you may also write it on a Connect Card or email cpicha@earthlink.net.

The old online giving platform will no longer accept giving after 5/15/25.

Please update any recurring giving and begin using the Church Center platform for any future online gifts. If you give through your regular financial institution, you may continue as you are.

We appreciate your generosity and flexibility as we’ve been transitioning.

Download the Church Center app to stay updated about events, sign-ups, giving and small groups. 

Be sure to update your profile the first time you login. We transferred information from our last database, and want to be sure all of your contact information is correct. Also, create your household if it hasn’t already been done, add your birthdate, anniversary date, and a current photo.

We are excited to announce that live translations of the worship services will be available in multiple languages including Spanish.  The program will also transcribe in English, which will give our deaf and hard of hearing community a way to participate.

This is a great opportunity to tell others about how they can be connected in their native language while attending here at Sierra Grace.

There is a poster in the lobby with a QR code and instructions to access the translation.

Below is the link that is only live during our worship services.
