Pastor’s Update, July 6, 2018

IN THIS UPDATE:

TOMORROW, SATURDAY, JULY 7, IS GOLD COAST’S TURN TO SERVE AT THE RESCUE MISSION, FROM 4:15-6:15 PM. For more information, contact Stuart Baker at [email protected] or call 805.427.5528

THIS SUNDAY morning we’ll again be looking at Hebrews 11, the “Hall of Faith” chapter of the Bible.  Last Sunday we looked at the kind of faith that pleases God as well as types of “faith” that doesn’t. This week we’re turning our attention to what God’s designed faith to do as well as what God never intended it to do. Understanding this can mean the difference between life and death. Both our culture and our ultimate enemy attempt to get us to believe that if we just had enough faith, all our troubles would be over. God says something different. I’m looking forward to being with you and worshipping together!

YOUTH (GRADES 6-12)CAMP AT ANGELES CREST- REGISTER BY THISSUNDAY, JULY 8: This is a great opportunity for students from all backgrounds to have fun, make new, like-minded friends, explore nature and, most importantly, grow in their relationship with God! When campers aren’t in organized worship or hearing from inspirational speakers like Josh Best, they’re busy with tons of awesome activities like paintball, basketball, digglers, Zip lining, volleyball, archery, a climbing wall, a trampoline, hiking trails, swimming, games, and more! Cost is $335. Contact Christian Schaefer at 541.601.7131 or [email protected], if you have any questions.

26TH ANNUAL REHAB POINT PICNIC, THIS SUNDAY, JULY 8: The Ed Hunt Rehab Point Project is a 900-foot concrete path by Oxnard Beach Park that gives access to the beach for people who use walkers and wheelchairs. Each year a picnic is held to provide resource information to people affected by disabilities as well as offer some food, festivities, and activities for the kids. Stop by Gold Coast’s Special Needs Ministry tables! Let us know you’ll be attending or just show up! Contact Tana Seufert if you have any questions at 805.485.5433 or [email protected].

Time: 11 am-3 pm; Location: 1601 South Harbor Boulevard, Oxnard Beach Park

MEN’S BREAKFAST, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 8:30 to 10 AM: Men, let’s get together for a great time of fellowship, encouragement, and challenge in our spiritual growth. Breakfast will be served. Cost is $5. First time guests are free. Guest Speaker, Tim Kanter, made loads of bad choices as a teen. God got a hold of him and changed his life. Now a Christen playwright, traveling comedian, and pastor, come hear how God shifted his life mission to lead others to Jesus. Sign up at the table in the lobby on Sunday. Questions? Contact George Garcia at [email protected] or 805.302.8475.
