January News from CB Southern California

0.8416289592760181 Early in the spring, Pine Summit started looking to replace the old and almost useless video projector in the Chapel, but the price to replace the projector and screen with the correct lumens and extension lens was right at $10,000. Through a very generous donaton of $5,000 from Sunrise Church, Rialto and Moore Electric Inc, Pine Summit now has an awesome, clear, bright, new 7,000 lumens projector and larger screen in the Cedar Chapel for future groups to enjoy, although they won't notice it much. People only notice things when they are not working properly. So for those groups who came up this summer, next time you're in camp, you will greatly appreciate the last big noticable improvement CB did for its camp before the sale to the Salvation Army.

Repenting of Church Sins

Doug Tegner, Pastor of Redwood Chapel in Castro Valley, CA, wrote an interesting article in Leadership Journel. He was writing about his church that was struggling with past sins. He writes, "We named at least four sins that had ebbed and flowed through our church over recent decades: (1) Arrogance, boastfulness, and pride, (2) Hydroplaning over issues; sending them underground, (3) Gossip, and (4) Gracelessness." He wrote that these sins had been observed in the pulpit, pew, parking lot and in public. Read the rest of the article here.
