RISING EARLY TO SING AT SADDLEBACK

It was early to bed and early to rise for another day to sing praises to God, Sunday, January 12, 2014.  His Voice journeyed south into Orange County to gather together and sing at the senior community of Laguna Woods.  They had been invited to sing at one of Rick Warren's satellite church communities, Laguna Woods, for their nine and eleven o'clock morning worship services.  Join us now by scrolling down through these photos to see the blessings in this day.

The Laguna Woods congregation has several ministries, small groups being at the top of their list, but there is much more: counseling, medical help, prayer, Bible study, food pantry, potluck dinners, etc.  Free Bibles, bagels and donuts upon arrival. . . .

Pastor Rick Warren shared his thoughts, "Your Life Support System - preparing for 50 days of transformation."  This reporter's notes are shown below.  God has a lot to say about family, "Where two or three are gathered together in My Name...."

Tables lined the outer areas on two sides of the Laguna Woods banquet room with regular rows of chairs in the middle.  These women had chosen the outer limits for their group of friends
