National Day of Prayer –
Since 1952, the first Thursday of May has been designated as the National Day of Prayer. The National Day of Prayer belongs to all Americans. It is a day that transcends differences, bringing together citizens from all backgrounds. Mrs. Shirley Dobson, NDP chairman emeritus, reminded us: “We have lost many of our freedoms in America because we have been asleep. I feel if we do not become involved and support the annual National Day of Prayer, we could end up forfeiting this freedom, too.”
On Thursday May 2nd, Christians around our country will gather and pray together. In Oceanside, that gathering will be at 6pm at El Corazon Senior Center (located here). We encourage you to consider joining us and praying with believers from a wide spectrum of God’s church. Stand up in prayer.
Big Sunday –
The 1st Sunday of every month is “Big Sunday” at Pillar Church and things may look a little different than our typical church day!
Here’s what you can expect:
–Treeehouse class will be joining us in service. Be sure to take notes (there are sheets printed for you on the book table). If you bring your notes to show Mrs. Kristy after service, you can choose something from the Treasure Box!
-Hospitality Table Potluck! If you would like to bring a breakfast item or dish to share on the hospitality table you are encouraged to do so! If you’re able to bring a breakfast dish to share with the congregation, please bring it by 9:30am so we can enjoy it before service.
-Grab a name tag from the Welcome Table. We want to take the opportunity each month to have a visual on those names you need a little help remembering.
Life Groups –
We have two groups meeting during the week and are both open to anyone who’d like to study the word and get to know people on a deeper level.
Wednesday Nights at the Furtados, 155 McKinley, Oceanside facilitated by Trace Martinez
Friday Nights at the Massies, 1615 Calle Las Casas, Oceanside facilitated by the Massies
Both groups meet at 6pm and have a potluck followed by a study. The Wednesday night potluck is dinner, while the Friday night potluck is dessert only.
Our Life Groups are designed to grow us spiritually, relationally, and numerically. We will cover a wide variety of topics in these mid-week sessions that will increase your biblical knowledge. You will also have the opportunity to grow in relationships with other church members as you “do life” together with them. Lastly, we must be regularly reminded that God is at work ADDING TO his family. His mission to grow his family is our mission too.

Fight Clubs are same-gender groups of about three people encouraging each other to live a life aligned with the gospel of Jesus Christ. The ultimate goal is to love Jesus more, through our affection for him and our allegiance to him, by helping each other rehearse the gospel and fight sin. Fight Clubs strive to meet at least twice a month for an intentional, focused time devoted to the word and genuine fellowship. For more information or to sign up contact:
