Today, we would like to honor the memory of Joey Huerta, who, just a week before his passing, had agreed to play his guitar for this service. While he is missed here today, we see some of the beauty

he left to this world in the stained glass windows he created for us here at the Calimesa Church. And, we can look forward to an eternity of praising God together in song.
