Views and Pics From the Southwest Focus Retreat

Saturday, February 7, 2009

It's been over a week since a group of around 60 met at Rancho Capistrano for the Southwest Focus Retreat. There were a few changes from past years and due to the reroofing of our normal meeting room, we were "stretched" out in a smaller but wider place to meet together. The weather was perfect, but what would you expect in sunny California. A few clouds with some sprinkles but overall we had warm sunny days as we met to be refreshed with friendships, singing, Srcipture, and sleep. Here a re a few pictures of a short but encouraging two days.


Worshipping before the first session. Ed Waken from Arizona taking an important call.

John McIntosh leads the group through 2 Timothy. Mitch Cariaga of Rialto sharing with men like Dr. Manahan, President of Grace College and Seminary.
We all enjoyed the beautiful conference center. Catching up with friends is always a big plus at Focus. Los Altos pastors Phil Helfer and Bill Salas enjoy some time with Ed Waken, pastor from Arizona, and John Ward, GBIM representitive from Ohio.
Mike, from La Loma GBC, sharing at the lunch table as Tim Park of Ripon looks on. TK enjoying the conversation.









A great two days at the retreat.






CE Celebration in California

Monday, February 2, 2009

The staff of CE National were out here in sunny California for their annual CE Celebration event. This year they met at the Bellflower Grace Brethren Church. We had a great time in hearing the many blessings of God through the ministries of CE National. It's amazing to see and hear what the Lord is doing from Urban Hope in Philadelphia to The National Institute in Winona Lake. CE National has a tremendous ministry through churches across the country. Here are a few pictures of the evening.

Sara Knepper and Stacie Fey welcoming the church for the evenings' event. Ed connecting with friends and supporters of CE National.

Great friends came by...like Mandy and Mick Wee from San Diego. Ed having a good time with Bellflower's youth pastor, Keith Ko.
