Our next retreat will be February 15-16 th at San Elijo State Beach. We have reserved two campsites for that Friday night. San Elijo is a great spot for camping located right on the beach. There are two great bonuses to camping here we were not able to experience at Thousand Trails in Jamul, (yet, we did have a great time there) an open campfire and surfing! This should be a great time but there are only 16 spots available, so please let us know now if you'd like to come. The cost is $20.00 per person which covers food and the campsite fee. We can check in as early as 2pm on that Friday afternoon. You can RSVP to the church office at 858-274-9079. Our men's retreats are a great time for the men of Coastlands to get together, talk about our faith, life, families, relationships and what God is teaching us, as well as pray for each other and deepen our friendships.

I'd also like to start having monthly gatherings for prayer, support and accountability. Since December is so busy, we can meet on Thursday, January 10 th at the church office from 7-8:30pm.
