The Scoop at The Place - February 28, 2008
This Week At The PlaceWe look forward to worshiping with you this coming Sabbath. This Sabbath Fernando Rossi, Religion Teacher at NPAA, will be sharing from God’s Word. We are also pleased to welcome the NPAA Jazz Band and Newburians under the direction of Christian Leukert. They will be praising God through their gifts of music. Steve Carlson will also lead some praise music.
We invite you to Sabbath School this week. We have children's Sabbath Schools for all ages, including our cradle roll, kindergarten, primary, junior/earliteen, and youth Sabbath school classes that meet at 10:30 a.m. Elder Rob Randall will be leading the adult Sabbath school which is studying the book of Romans. 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. If you would like to pray for our church and our community or if you would like to be prayed for, we invite you to come and share in this powerful time together.
And, we invite you to support the ministry of The Place financially. You may return your tithes and offering donations online to The Place by clicking on the link (or, of course, at The Place.)
