The Scoop at The Place

This Week At The Place/Sabbath Morning Community Prayer Time
We look forward to seeing you this Sabbath at The Place. This week Pastor Simon will continue preaching over the series on the book of 1 John, focused on Finding Joy. This week's sermon is titled "Confident Of Joy", and focuses on 1 John 4...with a twist.

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!

Wedding Celebrations
This weekend, love is in the air. We would like to congratulate Xavier Lemond and Rachelle Pullen who are to wed this coming Saturday evening in Camarillo and Michael Peabody and Danielle Martinez who will be getting married on Sunday in Malibu. God bless your new lives together. We all wish you God's richest blessings!

Acts of Love
There is still time for you to participate in acts of love and bless the army man. We have added another week so that you may bring something for a soldier stationed overseas. We want to bless John Alcala who is in the army and currently stationed in Afghanistan. His fiance, Lilia Ochoa is presently studying with Pastor Simon. John would love to hear from us and receive care packages. So, with that said, please bring any goodies you would like to send by this coming Sabbath, July 8th. If you would like to know exactly what to bring, please check the list of items in the red, white, and blue box located in the church lobby. If you have any further questions, please contact Cindy Schumacher via the link listed below. Thanks for your generosity!


Tijuana Mission Trip Fiesta Benefit Dinner & Auction-This Saturday Night
Our mission trip is literally around the corner. Next week 39 people will be heading out to Tijuana, Mexico to build a new church for almost 200 believers. But...we still need your help!

Our goal is to raise $20,000 for this project. It will fund the building of a new church. How can you help???

You can help by coming to our BIG Fundraiser (and by bringing your money and your friends too) that will take place this coming Saturday night, July 8th at 6:30 p.m. This will be our Fiesta Benefit Dinner & Auction held at the Newbury Park Adventist Academy cafeteria (go straight off the Wendy Drive exit north off the 101, and turn right into the Academy.) It will be a Mexican theme with wonderful home-made Mexican food, live entertainment, and child care and even a pinata for the kids. There will be live and silent auctions, which are the fund-raising part of the evening...with many great items and services to bid on!

We would LOVE for everyone to attend this benefit!!

Please contact Pastor Simon if you or someone you know would like to donate your money or your time or to assist in fundraising. Thank you.
