This Week at The Place - No Camping! BEACH VESPERS; BEACH CHURCH and back to the beach! 

Our annual church camping trip this weekend is CANCELLED as Sycamore Canyon Campground is closed this weekend due to the Springs Fire of last week. We are sorry to cancel it...but, we have a GREAT weekend together in worship and celebration planned.  

First, we have BEACH VESPERS THIS Friday, May, 17th at 5:30 p.m. at SYCAMORE COVE. We will have our hot dog dinner...but, we invite you to bring a dish to share. We will share in worship, dinner and fellowship!
 Then, THIS Sabbath, May 18th, we will have a special BEACH PARTY at The Place! Wear your casual attire and bring your beach chairs and blankets and we will spread out in the Sanctuary for a special time of worship.

At 10:30 a.m., we will have a general Sabbath School for everyone from Jr. High to Adults and hear the story of one of our new members, 3 time Olympic Swimmer and former U.S. record holder, Mike Alexandrov,
Then at 11:30 a.m. we will have church with campfire songs and worship with Randall and Deidre and Steve Mosley will be sharing his one man play "Likely Suspects, the Whole Bible in One Mystery." You will laugh and enjoy a whole new picture of the Gospel! 

Following church we will have our FELLOWSHIP LUNCH of HAYSTACKS at The Place. All are invited to stay for lunch...and we invite you to bring one item to share as part of our lunch. We will also have a JOLLY JUMP for the kids to enjoy. 

Then, in the afternoon at 3:30 p.m. we will go back to SYCAMORE COVE BEACH together again for a time of fellowship and sharing and worship together. Don't miss out - and invite a friend to share in this special weekend together.
