MISSIONS CONFERENCE: August 24-27, 2025
Mark your calendars for our upcoming MISSIONS CONFERENCE later this summer and plan to participate. A special thanks to our Missions Committee for the IMPACT 2025 magnet given out last Sunday. (Extras are available at the foyer Missions Display or on the information table across from the office.)
Our Missions Conference is important!!
It helps us get our eyes off ourselves and see a spiritually lost world.
It reminds us of our charge to …go and make disciples of all nations….
It allows us to meet and build relationships with guest missionaries, plus to better understand the unique demands and needs of their ministry. It challenges us to trust God financially as we prayerfully give to make an eternal impact. Bottom line: Our Missions Conference BLESSES us so we can BLESS OTHERS with the love and good news of Jesus Christ.
CAN YOU HELP? Our dear sister, Elenore Byrd, faithfully comes to services and many of our church activities. But she could use a little help with transportation, especially if you and your vehicle can manage a walker. She lives near the Pacific View Mall, off Main Street, on Dos Caminos. A few are helping, but others would make the load lighter. Please call the church office (805-535-4325) and let us know if you can help.
