This Week At The Place
We look forward to seeing you at The Place this Sabbath. This week
Pastor Simon will be preaching at The Place. This week's sermon is
titled "The Call Of Discipleship" which will focus on Matthew
chapter 10 and is the third in Pastor Simon's series on
discipleship. We invite you to stay after church as the cafe will
be open with snacks and refreshments.
We invite you to Sabbath School this week. Our Sabbath School
classes meet at 10:30 a.m. Rob Randall will be leading the general
adult Sabbath school which is studying the book of Romans.
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!
You are also invited to attend our community prayer time at The
Place every Sabbath before Sabbath School starting at 9:45 a.m. Come
and pray for our church or bring your special needs.
And-we appreciate your faithful giving. During the month of
September we received $20,632 in tithe, bringing our yearly total to
$127,180. This is approximately $23,000 more than last year at this
time!! We also received $11,004 in giving to our local church
budget, bringing our yearly total to $84,844. This is also
significantly more than last year at this time, and puts us right
about even with our church budget so far this year. Thank you for
your faithful support. You may return your tithes and offerings at
The Place or online by clicking on the link provided.
The Fireplace Children's Church-This Sabbath
The "Fireplace" is scheduled for this coming Sabbath, October 14th.
The Fireplace is our children's church and takes place the second
Sabbath of every month. All children are invited to attend this
wonderful time of learning about Jesus through story, craft, and
music. The Fireplace meets in the Fellowship Hall at 11:30 a.m.
This week's leaders are the Roeske and Bachmann families.
Monthly Food Drive-This Sabbath
Every month we collect canned goods, diapers, wipies, and formula to
donate to the Ventura County Food Share. The Ventura County Food
Share provides food to over 60,000 families. This Sabbath you may
bring your donation and place it in the box marked "food drive" that
will be in the lobby. We appreciate your generosity.
Michael W. Smith Concert This Saturday Night
Michael W. Smith will be in concert this Saturday night and we still
have a few tickets left! Michael will be in concert at Calvary
Community Church in Westlake at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 each. For
more information, contact Sherry Jackson at 805-405-4283 or ask
Pastor Simon. Michael W. Smith is an incredible musician and
worshipper. This is an awesome concert...don't miss out if you like
contemporary Christian music.
Wild At Heart Men's Time-This Sunday
It has been a while, but men's time is back! All men are invited to
come out this Sunday morning for a time of playing basketball,
football and whatever else we come up with. We also have a time of
sharing and lunch together if you desire. The manly man time will
begin at 10 a.m. at the park located on the corner of Wendy & Kimber
in Newbury Park.
Friday Night Film Vespers
We will have our next vespers on Friday night, October 20th at The
Place. We will be watching an awesome movie about a missionary
family titled "End Of The Spear". It is about the commitment of 5
missionary families in Ecuador and is an incredibly uplifting and
motivating film. Our night will start at 7 p.m. and will include a
time of worship and refreshments. Please come out and join us and
bring a friend! One caution...this film may not be suitable for very
young children.
Fellowship Luncheon Next Sabbath
Our monthly fellowship luncheon is scheduled for next Saturday, the
21st of October. We invite you to stay after services and enjoy a
delicious lunch with us!
Fall Fest
Coming up on Saturday night, October 28th is our annual Fall Fest.
This year's celebration will be held in the NPAA cafeteria starting
at 6:30 p.m. Please come dressed in your favorite retro gear as
this year's theme will be the 70's. We will have a pumpkin carving
contest as well as karaoke for kids of all ages. Our dinner menu
will be soups, cornbread, and dessert. You can sign up to bring
food at The Place this Sabbath.
Our Fall Fest is one of our church's highlights of the year and will
include our very own Fall Fest Band!! Please plan on coming out and
enjoying this truly festive time together!!
