Weekly Staying Connected, July 10
Major's Moment
Looking back at last week's events, I'm so blessed and encouraged by your love for God and others, inside and outside of the regular church fellowship. The way you want to support others through prayer and practical means such as a meal, a gift card, a ride are such blessings. You are setting great examples for all of us.
Continue to pray for Major Begonia who started ministry at the ARC this past Sunday.
Reminder that Captain Ron McKinney's Celebration of Life is this Sunday.
The address to send your love to JJ's family is also in this newsletter.

Where: Hume Lake Christian Conference Center.

How: This event is being heavily subsidized by DHQ. The total cost per delegate will be $200. Santa Clara Corps members will only need to be $130 for 3 nights lodging, 9 meals, and more snacks than anyone really needs. It also includes special guests, “Skit Guys”.

*NOTE: due to issues with the USW Events website, please ask the Majors to register you.*
This extended weekend will be a great opportunity to give men’s ministries a much needed “reboot” after Covid has seemed to derail many in-person ministries. Please continue to pray for all the men attending this retreat. Lives will be changed and we’ll have lots of fun in the process.
