Multi-Cultural Seminar
June 21, 2009
Dear Friends,
The October 7th Missions Breakfast, to be held at Heavenly Treasures, is being POSTPONED to November 4th (10:00-12:00 noon) due to an important missions oriented seminar opportunity, offered at no charge, and being held the same day/time (October 7th).
Pastor Guillermo Flores, our District Superintendent of the Hispanic Distinct, is offering a MULTICULTURAL SEMINAR, that he's organized in conjunction with the Southern California Conference. In light of the mission for each church to become healthy enough to daughter a church of a different ethnic origin, this is an incredible opportunity to learn how to establish a solid multicultural ministry in each of our churches. This objective for our churches is missions work in our "Samaria". Please seriously consider attending.
This seminar will be held at Marina Christian Fellowship; 12606 Culver Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90066
If you would like to attend, please call the Conference Office at 626-334-0801 to reserve yourself a spot at the lunch that is being offered.
