Text Box: The plans have been in the works for some time. We even had one scheduled this last year that had to be canceled due to the violence at the border. This year will be different, come rain or shine, it will happen. That’s right, we are going on a missions trip. There will be a couple of options that we will discuss and we will leave the missions trip up to you. I think the missions trip will give us a new perspective on our faith and on serving others. I also think that it will take us deeper. But a missions trip is not the only thing that will be taking place this next year. We will be resuming our monthly outings. This is a great opText Box: portunity to invite a friend to join us and hang out. You could even invite them to church that morning and invite them back on Wednesday! What kind of outings? Well, miniature golfing is always fun, bowling is cool, ice skating was a blast, but perhaps some other awesome events will surprise you! What else is going on? Well, here are some ideas I am toying with and want your feedback on. I’m looking at a potential Surf Camp in conjunction with the missions trip. The Surf Camp will not only teach us how to surf, but it will take us deeper into our faith and help us answer the questions that relate to what Text Box: //Coffee break/retreat! Text Box: The semester and the year is finally at a close. Finals are over, the busy Christmas season is ending, for some, Christmas vacation has begun. The new year has come and gone but you still feel on edge from the end of one year and beginning of the new year. It still feels like 2008. For some, classes have resumed and for others, it’s just another day at the office (so to speak). It feels like we are in limbo but how to break free? Do you like the snow? Do Text Box: you like getting away for a weekend? Does a trip to the snowy mountains in a small intimate environment sound like it’s the ideal trip for you? Do you leave our college and career group so much that you would like to see it go for an entire weekend? If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions than we have the perfect getaway for you! Every year during the month of February, our denomination hosts a 20 something’s Text Box: retreat for those aged 18-29. There is great worship, some awesome teaching and a time to refresh and recharge. The best part is, we stay in the condos! For those so inclined, there is time to go snowboarding or skiing! It’s pretty awesome. Cost and date will be available soon so keep your eyes out! No forms, no mess, just turn in your money! ~ Pastor Chris Moghtaderi Text Box: Pinecrest 20 something's retreat is coming soon! Text Box: we believe and why. I want to give our leaders a chance to share their testimonies but also teach more often as well. And of course, there is the Lock-In/Magic Mountain trip. If you are interested in any of these events, then stay tuned. Or maybe you have some low cost ideas for some of the outings, then please let me know. Let us kick the year off right together. Let us look at going deeper with our relationships with one another but more importantly, going deeper in our relationship with God and allowing others to do the same! ~Pastor Chris Moghtader Text Box: //The Insider/missions and then some
