ATTENTION ALL MEN (13 AND UP)!
On Saturday, April 18 Cedar Crest will have
the privilege of hosting the outstanding Iron
Sharpens Iron Men’s Conference. It will run
from 8:30 to 4:55 and will include outstanding
speakers, 16 different equipping seminars and
a dynamic worship team. There is nothing like
fellowshipping and singing with 700-800 other
men who love Christ.
We will begin
registration early in March. The cost for
group registration will be $44. For young men
13-19 it will be $29. This would be a great
father-son experience. Watch for more details
in the weeks to come. Let’s see if we can
make Cedar Crest’s group the largest. Mark
your calendar and plan to join us. If you have
questions, please contact Pastor Glenn.

tolerate some discomfort, and enjoy being in
the woods. The dates for this year’s DOTT
are July 9-12. If you are interested in joining
us, even if you have not backpacked before,
please call or email Paul Younger at 610-5304294 or [email protected].
