Spiritual Events and Resource

Recent Events:
  • Many people went to the BACCLC this year (http://www.bacclc.org/2005/index.html) and found it was useful. Thanks Dennis, Ken, and the team to pull this retreat together!
  • Several people went to the "Called & Gifted workshop" (http://www.siena.org/) in SF and began the process to discover their gifts and calls. Recommendation is to purchase the courseware so more people can listen at home.
