We interact with them at various events including charity rides, bike shows and rallies where we talk pray and hand out books and Bibles free of charge because we believe salvation should be free.
We are participating in three events in the next month...and need more literature to hand out. Although we are recognized by the Central California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists as a ministry, we are 100% self supported, operating on membership dues and donations. If you are interested in donating any supplies or would like to make a love gift to this ministry please contact Kevin or Kellye Simpson at 209-522-5575 or email: centralvalleysabbathkeepersmm@yahoo.com to find out more information.

Holy Land Adventure
Rome immerses learners of all ages in Bible-times culture, helping kids and adults explore what it might have been like to live as the church was just beginning. Families will experience new traditions, taste new foods, try new arts and crafts projects, and discover that God’s love is the most powerful gift, saving us from our sins.
The Apostle Paul is your Bible teacher!
Each day your kids will visit Paul’s home, soaking in Scripture as Paul shares what he’s writing and applies it to kids’ experiences. To hear from Paul, chained to a Roman guard…it’s memorable learning—and powerful!Rome VBS Bible Points
DAY 1 - God's love is a gift.
Bible Verse: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord". (Romans 6:23) -

Cantilena Children's Choir presents...
The Tale of Three Trees, A Delightful Musical for Children, April 10-12, 2009
The Tale of Three Trees brings to life the traditional story of some trees with a dream and a God with a plan. In this 35-minute musical, follow the adventures of Annabelle, who dreams of holding great treasure, Bud, who longs to become a mighty ship, and Gabrielle, who just wants to stay in the forest and point people toward God. Through the eyes of Woody the woodcutter, Sump, who is rooted in puns, and Woodsworth, the tree of knowledge, we are reminded that even when we can't see the forest for the trees, there is no prayer that is too small for God.
Performances:
Friday, April 10 at 9 am: School Performance
Saturday, April 11: Musical at 5 pm
Sunday, April 12: Musical at 5 pm

Dear Parents,
Camp Wawona is a Christian youth camp subsidized by the Central California Conference of the SDA Church.

This year we are offering two different prices: the “SDA Member Price” ($315) and the “Regular Camp Price” ($415). To register now visit our website at www.campwawona.org
