Pastors’ Update 05-10-2024

Hi Everyone and Happy Sabbath,

 

Linda and I hope and pray you had a safe and productive week. It looks like Summer has finally arrived. Yeah!

 

Tomorrow, we will have our Teen Bible Study before services in Lodi, at 2:15 pm.

 

Feast of Tabernacles registration this year for our assignedLinda and I hope and pray you are  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). 

 

This Sunday, May 12, beginning at 10 a.m. Eastern time, anyone who has not already registered for the Feast of Tabernacles is encouraged to do so. All U.S. sites and most international sites are open for transfers and will be taking registrations through June 3. Members can register at the COGWA member portal (portal.cogwa.org).

 

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.

  

Attached to this Update you will find an announcement (and directions) regarding the NorCal all-COG church picnic at the Newton-Besore Ranch on Sunday, May 26th. We are also planning an all-COG picnic at the Rossmoor Sportsmens Picnic Pavilion on Sunday, June 23rd. 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). Linda and I plan to be in Reno this Sabbath.
