Youth Soccer - This Sunday
The Place has started a youth soccer league for kids aged 3-11. All games will take place on Sunday mornings for 8 more weeks. We have had two games thus far and a great time. Games will take place on the NPAA field and will begin at 10 a.m.(please note the change in venue). There are soccer coaches and training prior to each game. However, we need more coaches and would appreciate having a few more volunteers. In Spring we will be advertising to the community so others may join. But, feel free to INVITE your friends and neighbors. For information or to register, call Jason Mosley @ 310-824-3816. The cost is $30. The cost includes uniforms, equipment, and basic insurance. Kids will need their own cleats and shin guards.
Pray for Pastor Simon in Finland
Pastor Simon will return next Monday from Finland where he has been for the last week preaching for an Evangelism series and young adult camp-meeting. The meetings have been a blessed time. We invite you to continue to pray specifically for protection for Simon and for the church in Oulu, Finland that is hosting the evangelism that the Holy Spirit will reign and lives will be changed. You can follow along if you so desire at http://oulu.adventist.fi/live.
