Discussion Series @ 10 AM in the Sanctuary
MARCH SCHEDULE:
This month in Viewpoints we will study our
relationship to money, how God intends for
money to be used in our lives, and how to
align ourselves with God's will. Our goal is
to put God in His rightful place where we are
living for His Kingdom and not our own. Join
us in the Church Sanctuary each Sabbath at
10:00 AM for Viewpoints!

Saturday Night
March 28, 6:30 PM
Meet in the church office warehouse at
6:30 PM. Enjoy pizza and an exciting evening of games for all ages.
The Church Board recently voted to
switch credit card processing companies. For
more than a decade, Orange Coast Church
has been accepting tithes and offerings
online. In fact, OCC was one of the first Adventist churches in the nation to accept credit
cards. OCC was accepting online tithes and
offerings even before the denomination was doing it.
OCC was using a company called Pay Simple. Now we are switching to Adventist eGive. This move will save OCC more than $6,000 in fees this year.
Members using this service will have to register online one time, but other than
that, almost everything will remain the same. If you need any assistance in registering, contact the church office.
