March Financial Update
We are one-fourth of the way through our fiscal year and want to update you all about our church finances. In March we received giving towards tithe of $12,322. This puts us slightly ahead of last year at this time. Just a reminder that the tithe goes directly to our local conference. It does not pay any of the expenses of our local church. We appreciate your faithful giving to our worldwide church.
Our giving towards our local church budget in March was $5,787. Our monthly budget for our local expenses is about $8,700. Of this, the primary expenses are our rent for our new church; educational subsidies of our local schools, CAES and NPAA; and for our programs here at The Place. Please remember to bless our local church as well when you plan your monthly giving. As part of our church family, we appreciate your support of our church. It blesses all of us when we each contribute to build up our church body financially. As a reminder, you may contribute at The Place or online by clicking on the link.

We are love for you to come if the Spirit moves you to partake of this incredible experience, but we can not guarantee flight availability or cost of ticket after the group reservation is full.

We absolutely LOVE our new Place! Last Sabbath was a HUGE blessing as we celebrated the first of many times together at our new location. We want to thank everyone who helped move, set up, and host last Sabbath. Special thanks to: Denise Ramirez, April Fowler, and Vickie Lemasters ( and all the others who brought food items) for the fellowship luncheon; to Robert Nomelli for our new signs; to Ron Fausset for facilitating the move; and to Rodney Andregg and Greg Quilop for setting up the audiovisual system. We are truly blessed to have such a devoted church family!
Food Drive-This Sabbath
.."A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers him into the presence of the great." Proverbs 18:16.
Our monthly food drive will continue this Sabbath, April 9th. Every month we collect canned goods as well as diapers, wipies, and formula for homeless and needy families. The donations go to the Ventura County Food Share. Our donations have been a great blessing to many in need.

Congratulations!
We want to congratulate new parents Greg and Meaghan Quilop on the early birth of their little boy, Glicerio Liam Fitzgibbons Quilop.

This is a no stress situation - all fun.
Heather Richmund is the contact for the group and will e-mail the mommies weekly to give the "date" for that week and will have subsequent weeks included so you can plan ahead!
