Serving Other
In the gospel of Luke, Jesus says “I am among you as one who serves” (Luke 22:27, NIV). Jesus was intentional when describing His life and ministry in terms of ways in which He is personally involved. In the gospels, Jesus refers himself as a servant. Serving has always been a catalyst for self-improvement. It brings hope to others and builds communities. It also makes people feel worthy.Serving others is the best way to take our eyes off ourselves. In serving, many of our worries fade and they bring smiles to those who receive from us. That is why Jesus said, “it is better to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
Pastor's Corner
Our Church will be serving the community once again through medical services. On May 5, 2024, the Santa Maria SDA Church, will be serving the community with dental services and other medical services for most of the day. The opportunity is golden! It’s an opportunity for many of us to serve. It’s also an opportunity to invite a friend, or a relative to receive dental and other services.
Don’t delay. Invite a friend or sigh up to serve!

Every year the CCC recruits young people to engage in an intensive ministry program where young people go from door to door selling books and giving away free literature to help families with some of the challenges life has to offer. They spend time in the Central Valley, Bay Area, and Central Coast. During the months of June and July, they will be sharing here in Santa Maria. Please pray for the families of Santa Maria. They will plan to knock on over 1000 doors.

Those who follow Christ the most closely have not been gloomy. In Christ is light and peace and joy forevermore. We need more Christ and less worldliness, more Christ and less selfishness.
