Housing deadline reminder
To all going to Oxnard, please be aware of the following regarding housing. Most will stay at the Staybridge Suites, and we encourage you to if you can. You need to make your reservations BEFORE July 1 (less than a month) to ensure you get a room at this facility. After July 1, if there are contracted rooms available you will still get the Church’s rate, but if we have filled our housing block, you will not get our rate and will have to pay a much higher fee. Please make your reservations soon. I will not be able to negotiate on your behalf if you book after July 1. Staybridge Suites sales coordinator, Donna, will be able to assist you. Her number is 805-604-4949.
I will be following up soon with other information about Oxnard – but this one is important enough I wanted it to be its own email.

We need musicians!
Dear fellow Feast-goers in Oxnard,
We are told in the Psalms to praise God, especially on His solemn Feast days.
Psalm 81:1-3
"Sing aloud to God our strength; make a joyful shout to the God of Jacob. Raise a song and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the lute. Blow the trumpet at the time of the New Moon, at the full moon, on our solemn feast day."
In order to do this properly, we are in need of musicians. Currently, we have one pianist and eight choir members.
We need more volunteers to help with music at the Feast in Oxnard. If you have sung before, please consider joining our small company.
Please go to the COGWA Portal and click "Manage Registration." When you get to your Feast registration page, you’ll see a big green banner in the middle of the page that says “Go to Service Area & Music Volunteering.”
Click there and indicate your information.
If you have any specific questions, please contact our Oxnard special music coordinator, Scott Lord. He can be reached best via email at [email protected].
We look forward to seeing you (and hearing you) at the Feast this year!
