Good Morning Family and Friends! We sincerely pray that you are having a great day and week-end.

This week Pastor Fred will continue his series of messages on "I Dream Of A Church Where..." Last Sunday Pastor Fred began a teaching on what the Pastoral Staff, our EFA Board and him felt Discipleship should look like at Elsinore First Assembly. This week he will share part 2 of his message. We pray that his teaching will be a blessing to your heart and encourage and lift your soul.

God bless you and have a great week!

“I Dream Of A Church Where… DISCIPLESHIP” (Part 2)
Elsinore First Assembly / Pastor Fred Rodriguez
Sunday, October 15, 2017

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. [43] Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. [44] All the believers were together and had everything in common. [45] They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. [46] Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, [47] praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (Acts 2:42-47)
