Meeting Location for This Sunday, Oct. 30, 2011
This Sunday we will be having our service at Help of Ojai's Little House, 111 W. Santa Ana Street, Ojai 93023. Little House is located up the street just behind Starr Market. If the weather permits, we will have an outdoor service on the back lawn; otherwise, we will be inside. The times of the service will be the same, 10:00 AM for meditation and 10:30 for the service. For this Sunday only, there will be no separate child care available. Children are welcome to attend the regular service as appropriate. It will be fun to have a different venue for the day!
Special Presentation
We were happy to have the President of the Board of The Nan Tolbert Nurturing Center in our congregation this past Sunday. We presented her with a Certificate of Appreciation and our September tithe check in the amount of $464.69. We thank this organization for continuing the legacy of Nan Tolbert and for its great contribution towards the well being of young children and families here in Ojai.
