Men’s Retreat Registrations by Life Group
We are less than a month out from our Men’s Retreat. Please continue to encourage the men in your life groups to register and attend. You can see the men who are registered so far in your life groups at this link that will be updated weekly. Take note of who is coming already and encourage the rest to jump on board!
Stephen Duwe Update
As you know, we have been interviewing Stephen Duwe for the open pastoral role throughout the past few months. Following his trip out here this past weekend, we made him an offer and he accepted the position! Please be praying for Pastor Stephen and his family as they prepare to make the big transition from Washington to Idaho as they join the Compass staff and body. By God’s Grace, the Duwes have already had an offer accepted on a house. Be praying for them as they transition here to Idaho and he begins in his pastoral role overseeing Men’s Ministry, Compass Classroom, and Outreach. He will be out here shortly before the Men’s Retreat. Praise God for His answer to our prayers for more pastors to join the team here at CBCTV - may He continue to raise up faithful men.
