Once again we are holding our Men's  Retreat with the men of First Baptist Church. The retreat this year will be Friday March 6th, leaving about 7pm, through Sunday March 8th returning about 8am. There will be the opportunity to worship at First Baptist after the retreat as part of their Men's Day celebration.

Our theme this year is "Brotherly Love." This is a great opportunity to get to know the men of our congregations better and to strengthen the bonds with our brothers at First Baptist. For questions or to sign up, please talk with David McKinnis - david@bethanddavid.org or

WAYS TO HELP

We had a fantastic time at CIRI today working with the Girls Club.  We played games, talked about a book for our book club (we are going to read The Story of My Life by Helen Keller), and made beaded bookmarks.  The girls loved beading so much we are going to do it again next month (next time they want to make jewelry).  Thanks to Vanessa and Holly for attending, and for Vern for helping me select a group game.  Pictures here:

We are thrilled to be promoting our movie night in March.  Josh Shelov (director) and Luis Mancheno (immigration lawyer and activist) are going to be in the First Church Sanctuary on March 14 at 7 PM to screen and discuss their film Refuge: Hombres Nuevos. We hope to see you there!
