A Loving Father, God Is Caring, Close

Excerpts from sermons to be delivered around Orange County on Sunday:

A PERFECT FATHER: “God is a father as a perfect father would be. He is caring, consistent, close and capable. He is never too busy, loves to meet your needs and is sympathetic to your hurts. God is our loving, heavenly Father, who cares about us a great deal.”

--Pastor John Rallison, speaking at 10 a.m. services at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church, 2311 E. Chapman Ave., Fullerton. (714) 871-1711.

LOOK TO GOD: “Because we are children of a loving Father, we can know that God will provide us with all that we require. Children naturally look to their parents to supply all their needs, and in the same way we can look to God to supply ours.”

--Rev. Margaret M. Mohit, speaking at 9 and 10:30 a.m. services at Unity Community Church, 22911 Mill Creek Drive, Laguna Hills. (949) 472-9230.
