Mission Project
We are exploring the possibility of doing a mission project in Mexico in June and a Maranatha project overseas later this year, possibly in Peru. We would like to know who is interested before committing to the projects. There will be a sign-up sheet this Sabbath for people who are potentially interested. This is not a final commitment, merely an indication of your interest! We are excited about the possibilities for mission and to see God working in us and through us.
Calling All Wild At Heart Men
Pastor Simon is inviting all of the men out there who are interested in doing something active (i.e. playing football and/or basketball) to meet next Sunday, February 27th starting at 10 a.m. at the park on Wendy Drive. (Directions will be available next week.) There will be a time of prayer and sharing followed by a time of loud, boisterous, hair raising sporting fun, concluding with lunch out for all those interested. Please contact Pastor Simon at (805) 498-2300 or at simonliversidge@hotmail.com if you are wild at heart (interested). If you have ideas, let's talk!
