A word from John Rittenhouse:
"I hate organized religion"
That's what a guy in my church said before he went to Men's Retreat last year. That event changed his life. Now he is in a wonderful position of leadership in our church and is excited to be part of the body of Christ.
That's what men's retreats does for guys. Not everyone connects but those that do come back fired up. If you are not planning a men's retreat for your church we would love to have you at this one.

Nurturing Children as Disciples
September 07, 2009
"Nurturing Children as Disciples" is an article written by Carol F. Krau, a Director of Teachers/Leaders in Christian Education for the United Methodist Global Board of Discipleship.
Many of the concepts discussed in this brief article about discipleship (with and for children) serve as an excellent reminder and can be a resource for those of us within Children’s Christian Education.

2009 Men's Retreat Goodies
September 02, 2009
Hey everybody,
You should be receiving the Men’s Retreat brochures at your church in the next few days. If you would like to download it as well, click here: link
The brochure turned out awesome and I'm also including a graphic to use for your local church promotions (at the top of this article).
Oak Glen has their registration page up (here) and we’ll have a few commercials to show at your churches by Jan 10th. But this should give you enough info to promote it with your Men’s Ministry.
More to come at 2009mensretreat.com.

Picture from Bob Managbanag
August 27, 2009
Many of you have been praying for Bob and Renee Managbanag and their family. We asked Bob to send us a picture that would show what happened to their home when the Sayre Fire came through and destroyed close to 500 homes in their area; the photo above is one of the ones that they sent.
They have been overwhelmed with the generosity of so many who have given them the basics (clothing, food, a temporary place to stay, etc.) so that their immediate needs are met. Bob called it "a great testimony to how the Lord cares and watches over us."
They did have insurance when the fire burned t ... read more

Psalm 23 and the fires in CA
August 26, 2009
Denny writes:
"It is no coincidence that during the Tea Fire, Rosie and Mike Conaway found this piece of charred paper that had been blown by the wind the seven miles from the Riviera [where the TEA fire was] to the Mesa [a region of Santa Barbara City]. As you can see it is a page from a bible commentary, and it just happens to be talking about the 23rd Psalm: “The Lord [Yahweh] is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” And on the back side the writer says “’The Lord is my shepherd.’ The soul feels surrounded and protected by the Love of the Lord, placing complete reliance in him.
