February Family Trip to Rancho Santa Marta - February 10-15, 2010

I can’t say enough about how special Rancho Santa Marta has been for so many of us over the years.  As you have heard over the years from many who have gone, the trip is a wonderful way for families from our congregation and friends to join together in fellowship and be part of a fantastic travel experience.  The mid-February timeframe is a beautiful time of year to be in Mexico, with flowers blooming, warm weather and clean air.  This is also a great opportunity for families to participate in service, enjoy fellowship with others from our community, spend time with the students and faculty at the Ranch, and learn about this very worthwhile Christian Orphanage and School in Mexico.  The ranch is about 3 hours south of San Diego and is easily accessible by car. 

Logistics:  If you are interested in more information about participating in next year's trip to Rancho Santa Marta , please email Greg Wikler.  Note that ALL travelers (regardless of age) must have a valid US passport.  This is a new requirement of the US government and is strictly enforced.

Retreats

Annual Congregation Retreat
There are times in your life you are overwhelmed, unsure, or that things are going too fast. A retreat can bring you back to center, clearing your mind, so God's spirit can speak, and renew and refresh. A retreat is also a means of meeting other people like you. Our annual retreat has great surroundings, an awesome speaker, time for old and new friends, excellent food and accommodations, space for rest and recreation, and programming for all ages. Watch for details in the newsletter and the Sunday bulletins on our next retreat October 8 - 10, 2010 at Mt. Hermon Conference Center.
