Message from Pastor Don Thursby
You may have heard by now that Little Church is closing down for the time being. This is true. We want you to know why we came to this decision and what it means for us.
First of all, you need to know that the Session voted unanimously NOT to close at its meeting yesterday evening. We were discussing how to proceed when we received word of the governor’s order to close down.
Reluctantly, we have closed down for the time being. This means that there will be no official worship on Sundays, no Sunday School or fellowship hour, no Bible studies, step group meetings or other groups such as the Boy Scouts gathering on our campus. Little School of the Desert is also effectively shut down during this period of closure.
Pastor Don will be on site on Sunday mornings to check the sanctuary and to broadcast the online service between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m.
It’s our hope to have some kind of online worship this Sunday. We will be using Facebook Live for our video. It’s also our plan to include some kind of bulletin for you to follow. Check our Facebook page and our website for further information.
Pastor Don and Jacqui will be in and out of the office to comply with the closure order. If you need to reach them, contact them by phone (Pastor Don: 985-259-0764; Jacqui: 760-367-9506) or via email (Don: 55thursbydonald@gmail.com; Jacqui: littlechurch29@gmail.com). Messages on the church phone will be checked. Matt Finnegan will keep track of the campus in his new role as Security Officer.
If you have questions, feel free to leave them on the church phone or call Pastor Don.
Please pray that the virus shall run its course quickly with a minimum loss of life!

Welcome to Little Church of the Desert, the first church in Twentynine Palms.
Little Church is a vibrant, Christian faith community, living and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. We welcome one and all to join our faith community in worship and fellowship and endeavor to be a family church; a church where everyone is welcomed, wanted and considered family.
Our church may be small in size however the opportunities for growth and service to our congregation and community are plentiful. As part of our rich heritage we strive to be a warm and caring congregation and to share the GOOD NEWS of the gospel to all of our brothers and sisters.
The ministry of Little Church of the Desert is to introduce people to the living Lord, Jesus Christ, and to help them experience the fullness of the new and abundant life that He offers all people.
