Men’s Group Schedule

Where have we been? Our men’s group met nine weeks during September– November 2011. We read and studied together the book The Samson Syndrome . We met at 6:30, had dinner together. Then sequentially studied the book and Samson’s life. Our goal was to grow more familiar with each other and learn more about the challenges that all men face.

Where are we going? Our men’s group is continuing the established format. We will be meeting from January 25– April 18. We meet at 6:30 fro dinner and will be studying and discussing the book They Like Jesus but Not the Church by Dan Kimball. The book costs $10 each and the weekly meal costs on average $2.50. Your contribution is not mandatory for participation and attendance it will help offset costs. Our goal this quarter is challenging cultural expectations not with compromise but biblical basis.

Upcoming Cathedral Pine Dates

Summer church camp is a great time for children and youth to unplug from the world and be surrounded by God’s Presence. We as a community have a great facility where our youth can go to and experience that. Cathedral Pines Baptist Camp has been providing a place for children/youth to reconnect with god for over 90 years now.

There are many things pulling families in every direction. If we as a congregation are going to utilize camp for our ministries, we are going to have to “put our money where our mouth is” and sponsor kids to get there.

Please pray about what your part is in this great ministry.

Summer Camp Dates:

May 1st: Early Bird Registration Due

June 1st: Registration Due

June 24-29: Jr/Jr. High Camp

July 8-13: Sr. High Camp

August 5-9: Middler Camp
