Women's Retreat
"We praise God for the way He ministered to us during the women's retreat weekend. The presence of His Spirit was evident through the clear, direct messages from His word and in the words we spoke and prayed over each other. The opportunity to share our deepest fears, hopes and prayers forged new and deeper friendships among us. The gift of time apart with God healed us and challenged us to live for His glory."
Congratulation to Heather Boyd who earned her masters degree!
Operation Warm Baby Kits:
With all of the baby items that Emmaus generously donated, numerous Operation Warm Baby Kits were created for delivery to the Kudjip Nazarene Hospital in Papua New Guinea.

Men's Monthly Hiking Group
Saturday, May 18th
"For the month of May we are in for a real adventure this time. We will be hiking to Feather Falls in Oroville. We did this last May and it was great. At 410 ft tall it never disappoints. Hiking at this time of the year, it should be really flowing! Outside of Yosemite, this is one of the best waterfalls in California. Please note that we will be leaving at 6am from the Lincoln Crossing Starbucks (one hour earlier than normal) to get up there before it gets too hot and back at a reasonable hour.
Estimated Time: 6am departure - 2pm return (hiking time 4.5 hours) Hike Length: 8.75 miles round trip Elevation Change: 1100 ft
Bring hiking snacks and water and some cash for your driver (it's a long trip).
Contact: Justin Carpenter (530) 305-1717, Steve Henning, or Tom Tracy" |
