Our current series of messages.
You might be shocked to learn that one in every seven verses in the New Testament deals with the topic of money.
The Bible offers 500 verses on prayer, fewer than 500 verses on faith, and more than 2,000 verses on money.
In fact, 15 percent of everything Jesus ever taught was on the topic of money and possessions —
more than His teachings on heaven and hell combined.
When it comes to our money, Jesus wants to set us free from being enslaved to greed
or from being paralyzed by fear.
He wants us to enjoy the joy of giving — to learn that "giving is living"!
Come discover more with us this Sunday!
In January Bethany celebrated the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
as we focused on "Starting the New Year Without the Burden of Malice in Your Heart."
His words, deeply and profoundly shaped by Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. are worth reflecting on!
James Allen once said, "People are anxious to improve their circumstances,
but are unwilling to improve themselves;
they therefore remain bound."
But we think you are unique;
that you are interested in improving yourself,
and wanting to grow as a person.
So we would love to have you join us on Wednesday nights this May
to learn more about growing as a person.

WCCS awarded Technology Grant!
Assemblymember Roger Hernández (D-San Gabriel Valley) presents a check for $5,000 to Pastor Doug Wilson and Principal Chris Petersen at the WCCS Open House on Thursday, April 26, 2012. The check represented an Education Grant awarded by the Barona Band of Mission Indians, which our Assemblymember had nominated West Covina Christian School for earlier this year. Hernández commended our illustrious Principal for the hard work she invested in applying for and securing the grant to benefit our school and our students. Well done, Principal Petersen!
Our incredible school hits the papers!

Recent scientific research has documented that the habit of expressing gratitude can give you more energy, deeper joy, decreased illness, and greater determination! Modern scientific evidence is verifying that the ancient habit of gratefulness commended to us over two thousand years ago in God's Word produces an enormous amount of positive benefits in our lives. Grateful people are less depressive, envious and anxious; they demonstrate clearer thinking, better resilience during tough times, higher immune response, less likelihood of being plagued by stress, longer lives and closer family ties. As one writer summarized these benefits, "along with thinner thighs and six-pack abs, this is a fairly comprehensive list of what most of us would wish for in life"!
One of the documented methods for increasing your level of gratitude is through the keeping of a "Gratitude Journal" -- through simply taking a few minutes every day to write down three things that happened that day for which you are grateful.
