Ladies Fellowship –
Ladies, join us for a celebration filled with Christmas joy on Saturday December 14th! Please bring a pair of fun or fuzzy socks for an exchange. Fill one sock with stocking stuffers (and that other sock). We’ll enjoy games, food, and great company together. 10am at the Martinez home, RSVP in Band HERE.

Members’ Meeting–
THIS Sunday after church we will have a members’ meeting to discuss two important matters. The first is to discuss and vote to approve our 2025 budget. The second involves a conversation about future possibilities in terms of our meeting location. Please make time to join us for this very important meeting. If you’re not yet a member but consider Pillar Oceanside your home church, you’re invited to come and observe. 

Christmas Blessing – We have a wonderful opportunity to bless a family this Christmas. We are working with our children’s ministry to bless this family through a partnership with Operation Hope. Here are the details:

1. We are partnering with Operation HOPE to bless a family with gifts at Christmas, to serve needs outside of our church, and really be the hands and feet of Jesus.
2. There will be a Christmas tree set up each Sunday (thru 12/8) with tags hanging from it. Please take a tag, buy the gift indicated on it, and return the item WITH that tag to Kimberlee.
3. Gifts are capped at a $25 maximum and are due no later than December 14th.
4. Children’s Ministry is heading this, but we invite the entire church to take the opportunity to get involved.

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:
