WORSHIP THIS SABBATH

Speaking this Sabbath is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, with "The Promise of God's Spirit." God pours out His Spirit in the Old Testament on many people. But when Jesus comes...and the last days begin...God pours out His Spirit differently. God pours out His Spirit on all people. All the time. But in the diversity of their gifts, we see the unity of the Body of Christ. 
Union Adventist University's Music Program joins the College View Church worship ministry this Sabbath with their Symphonic Band, Orchestra, and Unionaires. Be sure to arrive early and stay after the service for the prelude and postlude performed by their ensembles.
Forks and Friendship potluck will be hosted by Gerrie Eddy’s team tomorrow. If you are visiting, please join us in Heartland Hall immediately after the church service. CVC members are also welcome to attend, we just need you to bring enough food to feed your family plus six others.

Upcoming potlucks:
April 5 - UAU Homecoming Weekend. No potluck today.
April 12 - All church potluck hosted by Pete Blankenship’s team
April 19 - Easter potluck organized by Janya Mekelburg
April 26 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Trista Ybarra’s team

Together We BELIEVE! Believer's Banquet this Sunday, March 30 at 6pm. CVA will be hosting their annual Believer's Banquet in a new location. It will still be a magical evening of celebrating CVA and all our amazing supporters, but with a new twist. This year, it will be held on campus in the gym. With all the new improvements that have already happened, and are still in progress like the new science lab, we thought it would be nice to move the event on campus into our now climate controlled gym with the new video boards we can use. We will still have the usual auction, silent auction, entertainment, food, and fun times, but also offer tours of the science lab construction, and highlight the exciting progress happening on campus. So please, come join us, grab a table for your group, donate an item for auction, or just grab a ticket and join us for a truly special night of celebrating what CVA is, and where it is headed into the future! Pray Hard! Dream Big! Grab your table/tickets/donations by visiting our website at www.cvak12.org or emailing admissions@cvak12.org.
