The Scoop on October 27th, 2005
This Week At The PlaceThis Sabbath, Pastor Simon will be preaching at The Place. He continues his series which focuses on "Falling In Love With Jesus." This week is the seventh in his series and is titled "Are We There Yet?". We also have a new Daily Reading Plan to follow along with the series. Pick up your copy this Sabbath.
You may also click onto the daily reading plan from our website, or you may listen to the sermons on-line (we even podcast!!) Check out all the new stuff at www.theplacechurch.com.
Elder Rob Randall will be leading out in the adult Sabbath School that meets at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary. They are exploring the book of Acts.
There are also Sabbath School classes available for all ages. Sabbath school starts at 10:30 a.m. at "The Little Place"...stop by and be blessed!
During the next nine weeks, there will not be a Discipleship Sabbath School class. Instead there will be a training class in giving personal bible studies held in the chapel behind the youth room. This class began four weeks ago and has been a real blessing for so many people. There are also Discipleship training classes available on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
And-a reminder that your tithes and offerings are always a blessing. You may return your tithes and offerings to The Place or on-line by clicking on the link provided.
And, we love to pray for things - so, if you have prayer requests, just click on the link and our prayer team will be praying for you!
Fall Fest-This Sunday
THIS Sunday, October 30th, The Place will be having its annual Fall Fest (our alternative to a Halloween party) inside the NPAA Cafeteria. The party will be from 4-7 pm. and dinner will be served. There will be crafts and games for children, and for the adults-a contest for best costume, so PLEASE dress up!! Also on the agenda is a special "trunk or treat" involving your car. That's right...for those adults who are interested in participating, simply decorate your car and then the children will get to vote on whose car deserves the "trunk or treat" prize, the winner will then receive a gas card prize. There will be a sign up sheet in the lobby for anyone interested in participating in the "trunk or treat" activity.
If you are interested in donating candy for the Trunk or Treat prize, please contact Alisa Kalberg at (805) 582-0304 or at ackalberg@aol.com.
