We invite everyone to come out and enjoy our "First Sabbath Out" together this Saturday (Sept. 4th) after church services.

Please bring your picnics, towels, and sunblock as it projected to be 91 degrees this weekend. It is a nice place for everyone to hang out! We hope to see you there.
Church Picnic NEXT Sunday
Our annual picnic is just around the corner and we hope that you will join us for an afternoon of fun for the entire family NEXT Sunday, September 12th. Our picnic will be held at Borchard Park (corner of Borchard and Reino in Newbury Park) beginning at 12 noon. There will be a barbeque lunch, games, and a jumper for the kids. If you would like to bring food, please sign up at church this Sabbath. The picnic is for EVERYONE! So, please come and invite a friend.

Have you cast your vote?
Kevin Emmerson (a former Placer who still think of himself as one!) is now working at Mount Ellis Academy, a state accredited high school in Montana. The academy is in serious contention for a $500,000 grant from the Kohl’s Cares campaign to replace the aging water and sewer infrastructure. Grant recipients are chosen by a Facebook vote with the top 20 schools in the country each receiving a half-million dollars. With voting due to end on September 3rd, 2010, Mount Ellis Academy is currently in 14th place in the nationwide contest. We invite Placers to get behind this if they're on Facebook and vote for Mount Ellis Academy 5 times at this link: http://apps.facebook.com/KohlsCares/ . Voters are also encouraged to “share” the link with their Facebook friend networks, encouraging them to vote and share as well.
