Pastors’ Update 05-03-2024

Hi Everyone and Happy Sabbath,

 

Now that the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread are behind us this year, we are focusing on Summer activities, the Feast of Pentecost, and making plans for the Feast of Tabernacles.

 

Feast of Tabernacles registration this year for our assigned site (Redmond, OR) opened on Sunday, April 28th, and for those who wish to transfer to another site, transfer registration begins on Sunday, May 12th. If you have any questions, you may contact our Festival Advisors – Bob Besore` (Stockton), John Cornelison (Redding), and Mark Fike (Reno). 

 

Camp registration is now open through the COGWA Portal. If you plan to volunteer to help at one of our camps, or you plan for your children to attend camp, please register at the link in the Camp announcement below. There seems to be some confusion about the Sequoia camps for this year. The preteen and the teen camp will run simultaneously, starting on the same date (July 14th). However, the camps will be operated separately. Everything for the two camps will be run separately, but the same facility will be used.

  

For your planning purposes: All brethren are invited to a summer Church campout at Gurnsey Creek Campground, near Mill Creek, California (between Lake Amador and Lassen National Park), June 28-30. Please plan to join us for a weekend of Sabbath services in the woods, fun and fellowship. There’s space for tents, trailers, and RVs (we have reserved a group camp site with bathrooms, but no hook-ups for RVs). The group campground fees have been paid. There is no entrance fee for our campsite. Please let us know if you’re interested and/or have questions. For more information, you may call or email Tom Provine (530-520-6061 or tomprovine@gmail.com).

 

We are also planning NorCal all-COG church picnics at the Newton-Besore Ranch on Sunday, May 26th, and at the Rossmoor Sportsmens Picnic Pavilion on Sunday, June 23rd. We have decided to cancel our Donner Lake picnic this year because of a conflicting activity we discovered is scheduled at the lake that same day. Please reserve these special social outings on your calendar.

  

We will have Sabbath services tomorrow for the Stockton, Reno and Redding congregations at 2:30 pm. For those who cannot meet in person with us, the webcast will originate from Lodi this week (2:30 pm).
