The Scoop at The Place - May 31, 2007

This Week At The Place
We look forward to seeing you at The Place this Sabbath. This Sabbath Pastor Simon will continue preaching over the book of John. This week's sermon is on chapter 11 and is titled "3 If's, 1 & 2 Big Buts" and it will focus on life and death.

We invite you to Sabbath School this week. In addition to our cradle roll, primary. earliteen, and youth Sabbath school classes that meet at 10:30 a.m., we have several new classes including a new kindergarten class for 4-6 year olds, a young adult class with Pastor Simon.

Rob Randall will be leading the general adult Sabbath school which is studying the book of Romans. Arla's class focusing on 1 John will be meeting again this week. 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.

We encourage you to challenge God to be faithful as well! We are about to bring on our new associate pastor, and that will raise our church budget by about 50%. We believe that this addition will be an incredible blessing to our church and our community, but we ask you to consider this faith venture and join us in this step as you return your tithes and offerings.

Placers Win In Stunning Comeback
The Placers showed what they are made of as they mounted a spectacular comeback in the final inning of what proved to be this season's most exciting game. The bats had been quiet most of the night and The Placers found themselves trailing 6-3 after six innings. Down but never out, The Placers dug in deep and came out swinging. Aaron Ramirez and Kevin Siver singled. Carly Lopez knocked in Aaron with her second hit of the game. Jerry Bokoles singled to score Kevin, while Carly was thrown out at third for the second out. Sandy Werner beat out an infield single which allowed Jerry to score the tying run after an errant throw. Harley Peterson hammered a triple to score Sandy with the go ahead run. Three outs is all that laid between The Placers and victory. After giving up a lead off single, the defense sealed the deal beating St. Patrick's 7-6. Speaking of defense, Sandy Werner played an impressive second base and catcher Ashley Peterson caught a critical pop foul that ended a St. Patrick's rally.

Small Groups & Adventure Groups
Summer is right around the corner and a perfect time to join a small group or adventure group if you haven't already.

Placers Scorch Bag Burners
The Placers softball team took the field last week looking for redemption and revenge. Their only loss of the season came at the hands of Bag Burners the last
time the two teams met. The Placers found what they were looking for with a 9-3 victory. This time it was The Placers who set the bases on fire. Branon Shea set
the pace offensively, hitting a triple, double, and single; Annette Siver had another multiple hit game; Fred Harlan hit a triple; while Robert Nomelli, Aaron
Ramirez and Kevin Siver all had key hits. Jolene Roeske, who was brought up from The Placer’s minor league affiliate at Oaks Christian, knocked in an insurance
run. Nomelli strengthened his bid for the league’s Cy Young award by turning in yet another magnificent effort on the mound. He was backed up mightily by a
strong defensive front led by the superlative play of Shea at short. Come cheer on the Placers this Sunday at 5:00 at Borchard Park in Newbury Park.

Ministry Opportunties & Financial Update
This Sabbath we will once again have an interest sheet listing all the different possible ministry opportunities at The Place. If you are involved currently, or would like to be involved in any ministry, we invite you to fill out one of these interest sheets. If you have questions about any ministry, or have your own idea for a new ministry, please talk to Pastor Simon at 805-498-2300.

We are just beginning the process of ensuring that all our ministries are filled for the coming year (our church officer year runs annually from July 1st.) So, we would love to hear from EACH of you!

Thanks for your willingness to be a real blessing to our church family.

We continue to be blessed by your faithful giving. In April we received $10,639 in tithe, which goes to the Southern California Conference. That gives us a total of $54,441 for the year so far.

We also received $13,350 towards our local church budget. That brings us to $39,246 for the year...and leaves us just slightly behind our church budget for the year. Thanks for that.

We encourage you to challenge God to be faithful as well! We are about to bring on our new associate pastor, and that will raise our church budget by about 50%. We believe that this addition will be an incredible blessing to our church and our community, but we ask you to consider this faith venture and join us in this step as you return your tithes and offerings.
