2017 Youth Winter Retreats are Here!
 The winter retreats are amazing weekend long events spent with other youth groups in California. This year the theme is Quality over Quantity, where youth will be given a deeper understanding of God that has named and claimed them with a love too abundant to comprehend.
| Friday, February 3-5 | High School | El Camino Pines | | Friday, February 24-26 | Middle School | El Camino Pines | | Friday, March 3-5 | Middle School | Luther Glen |
The price to attend is $149. This is an incredible time full of fellowship, worship, and games. Hope they can make it!
You can get more information about the retreats at the LRCC Homepage or speak to our youth minister, Caitlin Arndt for more details.

Stephen Ministry Training Class
Here is what our Stephen Ministers are learning this week in their second-to-last session before commissioning. Pray for their continued growth-and pray for those who might begin receiving care from them in the coming weeks.
How to Make a First Caring Visit
As commissioning draws near, this class summarizes everything our Stephen Ministers have learned so far and applies it to getting their first caring relationships off to a strong, healthy start. Our Stephen Ministers are here to care for you! If you are in need of confidential, one to-one Christian care-or if you have a friend, neighbor, coworker, or relative who might benefit from this kind of care-talk to one of our pastors or Stephen Leaders.
