The Scoop at The Place

This Week At The Place/Sabbath Morning Community Prayer Time
Happy Fourth Of July Weekend! We hope you have a safe and memorable few days of rest with your family and other loved ones.

We look forward to seeing you this Sabbath at The Place. This week Pastor Simon will continue preaching over the new series on the book of 1 John, focused on Finding Joy. This week's sermon is titled "The Reality Of Joy" which covers 1 John chapter 3.

You are invited to attend a special morning prayer time this coming Sabbath (and EVERY week!) at 9:45 a.m. before Sabbath School. Come join us and pray over our church, and for special needs in the community. Hope to see many of you there!

All Sabbath School classes will meet this week. The classes meet at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Simon will be leading out in the Sanctuary class. Rob Randall will be leading the general adult Sabbath school which will begin studying the book of Romans, and, Harley Peterson will be leading out anyone interested in music...in our music Sabbath School.

We also have the "Little Place" with Sabbath School classes for infants and toddlers, kindergarten aged children, earliteen classes, and youth sabbath school. Stop by and be blessed!
