Backpacking Map

Start getting ready now for this wilderness adventure.  If you love to camp and want to go places that many people will never see this is the trip for you.  This is a four day backpacking trip through the San Gabriel mountains.  Starting at Vincent Gap off of Highway 2 and hiking through to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River off of Highway 39 each day has new surprises!

The trip dates are June 15th-18th.  If you have never gone backpacking, no worries.  We will be holding a couple of meetings to get ready for this trip.  We will meet in the youth room on Sundays at 10 a.m. before second service on May 31st, and June 7th.  If you plan on (more…)

Join us this Friday Night for the movie “Up” in realD.  If you are interested in going please sign up in the youth room or e-mail me and let me know.  I am going to pre-purchase some tickets so it’s best to bring in your money on Wednesday night.

Be at the church at 6:00 p.m. on Friday the 29th.  The cost is $8.00 per person.  Bring extra money for snacks or food.  We will carpool to Cinema City Theaters for the 7:10 p.m. showing.  After the movie we’ll have a group discussion about the themes presented in the movie and how they relate to Christianity.  Hope you can make it!!!

Hows it going guys? I just wanted to say what a success the homeless breakfast was. Everything went smoothly and was truly a blessing to all. And just wanna say thank you to Ben and Garrett for setting the example, showing up, and working so hard. I’m super proud of you guys. Hopefully the rest of you can come next time. It’s not everyday we get to share God’s love like that. I promise if you come next time and help you will be blessed.

Love like Christ,

Aaron
