Pastors’ Update 02-21-2025

Hi Everyone and Happy Sabbath,

It has been refreshing to have some “Spring” weather to clear away the “cabin fever” we were developing with all the rainy, cold weather we were experiencing the last few weeks. Of course, we all know we need the rain and snow pack in the Sierras to resupply our water table for the entire West Coast.  

Naturally, this time of the year, our minds are turning to the Passover and the upcoming Days of Unleavened Bread. These special annual events are now only seven weeks away! No doubt many of us are already thinking about preparing for the Passover, NBMO, and de-leavening our homes for the DUB. If you have not already signed up for the NBMO, please make sure you do that ASAP. If you have questions or need more information please contact Mark Fike (Reno), Tom Provine (Redding), or Bob Besore (Stockton).

We have now secured Camp Tehama for our Family – Pre-teen Camp weekend over July 18-21, 2025. All families are welcome to attend our camp. But, we especially hope families with pre-teens from all over the West Region will come to the camp. Mr. Lindenberg and Mr. Provine will be planning activities and overseeing the camp. If you plan to attend and would like to get more information, or volunteer to help, please check with them for more details.  

Mr. Dave Myers, Operation Manager for Ministerial Services has announced the US Feast sites for this year. Our assigned site will be the new site in Oxnard, California. More information will be forthcoming in the next few weeks about registering for the Feast of Tabernacles. 

We will have Sabbath services tomorrow for the Lodi and Redding congregations at 12:30 pm, and Reno at 2:30 pm. Mr. Lindenberg will be in Lodi and Linda and I plan to attend in Red Bluff this Sabbath.
