The Branches Update

It seems like it has been a while since I've sent out an update for The Branches Community Church. We continue to meet each Sunday at San Pasqual High School and are enjoying worshipping with one another and inviting others to be part of this movement with us.

Last Sunday (6/12) we were blessed to have guests join us from Indiana. Mike & Teddy Hamilton from our sister church, Brandywine Community Church, joined us for the worship service and then lunch. The Hamilton's were out in California visiting their daughter, Kelly and granddaughter Grace, in Riverside. It was so encouraging having them spend the day with us and hearing about how the Lord continues to bless Brandywine.

If you are ever in the Southern California area, we would love to have you stop in and see what God is doing at The Branches. If you have friends or family members in the area you might share our website and contact information with them so they can check us out too.

I may have shared with you before that Nate and Kate Canady had been attempting to sell their home in Indiana so that they could move out here to California to be a part of the church plant. I have some very good news to report, their home has sold and they are now homeless! =) Nate is out here in So Cal for the next couple of weeks looking for work. Our young church is so blessed by their faith to leave everything behind and answer God's call for them to minister to the Escondido community. Please be in prayer that Nate locates the job that the Lord wants him to have. (fyi: In case you might happen to have any contacts out here, Nate is an environmental engineer)

James has been working on an initiative to have people spend one hour in their week (each week) praying for The Branches. The request went out on his Facebook page just yesterday, and as of the last count we have 21 hours of prayer in the "Prayer Bank". If you would like to jump on board in prayer with us you can hit James up on his Facebook page, email us, or text him. Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support.

Glad the tomb is empty!
