I moved to this town almost 4 years ago. When I came here, I had friends from my old town telling…read moreme to go, plus I heard about the church everywhere in this new town. This church was/is so active in the community, it was hard to be somewhere that they weren't serving! They're at the parades, festivals, Friday night farmer's market... everywhere! Still, I was afraid to go because I thought that "Foursquare" meant a more charismatic environment that required cartwheels and all of the showy displays of "faith" that have made me uncomfortable at other places in the past. I don't remember exactly how, but finally I saw these people so much and they seemed normal enough, that I consented to trying it out one Sunday. My impressions are: 1 they are normal people who are learning, loving, and serving God by being his hands and feet 2 Pastor Bernie is teaching the truth. No fire and brimstone scare tactics. No messages of judgement. Also not the trendy motivational speaking type of new age sermons. It is balanced and compassionate and I believe that is how it should be. 3 the sanctuary doesn't feel heavy and imposing and the feeling of being there is not of judgement. You aren't pressured to be on show to wear your biggest hat or your wrinkle free khakis. You can come as you are and you will be welcomed. 4 the music at the church is great! The worship team presents different types of sounds. Sometimes, it's 3 or 4 singers, sometimes a choir, sometimes it's rock, sometimes it's country style hymns. 5 the children's ministry is awesome. The community outreach is amazing. They do an annual harvest festival to provide a safe and fun evening for kids on Halloween, we had a great time at the snow day, and throughout the rest of the year, they are holding events open to the community. There's a ministry that goes to visit the convalescent center and another for the coffee shop where you can watch the service and another to celebrate recovery. There's a ministry for everyone to serve and be served through 6 this church really does look for ways to bless others. They have a heart for God and when he speaks, they listen and respond 7 I'm not sure why I was so scared to walk into this church because it is a gem. When you're faced with needing to find a church home, this is the kind of place that you hope to find, a place that is not about putting on airs. A place that is filled with people who are are filled with the Spirit. I'm so glad that we finally came and I hope that we will be able to enjoy many more years here!

La Purísima Mission State Historic Park in Lompoc is one of the most fascinating and immersive…read moredestinations you can visit. It is the most fully restored of all 21 California missions. Established as the 11th mission in the chain, it is by far one of my top favorites, probably second to Santa Barbara, really! It's absolutely beautiful, as you will soon read. It was actually destroyed by an earthquake in 1812 and was rebuilt at its current location. Today, you can explore over 20 reconstructed buildings, including the church, workshops, living quarters, and blacksmith shop, that reflect the daily life of both the people who lived and worked here. The park is open almost every day from 9 AM to 5 PM, and it's perfect for both self-guided and docent-led tours. The Visitor Center is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM and provides helpful information and exhibits to get you started. I highly recommend a docent-led tour, the docents are so incredibly knowledgeable, and there's so much to learn about this historic site. On Demonstration Days, which take place several times a year, the mission hosts hands-on living history events, including blacksmithing, weaving, and candle-making. I look forward to visiting during Demonstration Days. I seriously can't wait to get back here. The grounds are large, rural, and so peaceful. There's a nearly three-mile trail loop. Parking is $6 per vehicle and $5 for seniors. I saw several dogs, but it does get very hot, and they are only allowed on the designated trails, not in the buildings, for obvious reasons. There are tons of animals, too. There were horses, steers, chickens, and more. Do not miss La Tienda, the mission's gift shop, where you can pick up local crafts, mission-themed books, and souvenirs. The local crafts are beautiful. I highly recommend this site for a half- or full-day visit! Make sure to set aside enough time for this beautiful gem. The drive alone is so beautiful and serene.

I recommend checking out the visitor center before doing the trails because you can get good information as well as all the different trails in the given map. Parking - I paid $6 to park on their private lot. The money goes to help them maintain the state park but if you don't want to pay I saw many people parking right outside on the street across and walking down.

I don't like it how after mass the kids swarm the priest to sign off on their mass attendance forms (for whatever it is for). Can't he delegate that to someone else so that I don't have to clamor for a handshake on the way home? Mass is efficient and the music selection is adequate. I like how no one forces you to hold hands during the Lord's Prayer, but I don't like the applause at the end if every mass.
