Jesus As Us Mini Conference

Our first mini-conference on discovering what it means to live as Jesus. Four men took 24 hours together recently on the Oregon Coast to learn from each other and the Holy Spirit on what the Bible says we are in and as Christ.

This is the first of more times to come giving men the opportunity to share together in the “mystery” of Christ in us. (Col. 1:27)

Last Call for Men’s in house weekend retreat at Cedar Mill Bible Church

Last minute decisions….life is full of them.

Our schedules are constantly changing.  One minute you have a meeting scheduled with a client, the next minute that client cancels.  Suddenly you can decide to do something else.

Maybe that might happen to you this week.  You thought you had something scheduled for Friday and Saturday and now your schedule is freed up.  But is it too late to sign up for the stay in town men’s retreat at Cedar Mill Bible Church?

Thanks for asking…the answer is it’s not too late.  Wednesday is the last day for on line signups so you can still sign up today using this link.

Now if it really comes down to a last minute decision on Friday, show up at the door and we’ll get you signed up on Friday night.   The times are Friday from 7-9pm and Saturday morning from 9-11:15. If you can only make Saturday, that’s fine, each session is a stand alone message.

Don’t miss this chance to hang out with the men of CMBC, talk about guy stuff and hear a Gospel Hall of Fame singer (Matthew Ward) and a nationally renowned speaker (Nate Larkin) all for just $25 which includes a copy of Nate’s book Samson and the Pirate Monks.

Make that last minute decision to join the guys.  Dads, bring your teenage sons for a powerful message I wish I would have heard during those years.  More than 110 of us have already signed up.

Godspeed,
Pastor Ron

Jim Ramos, from Great Hunt for God at NMWC Leadership Summit Sept 24th

Jim got pretty fired up about the state of men in the church today. Most are suffering from “PMS” (passive male syndrome). We have a big challenge on our hands to ignite men across the NW. Catch more from Jim at Happy Valley, Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Equipping Conference, Oct. 26th.
