Churches in California are designated as "Youth Service Organizations" and are mandated by AB506 to do background checks and training for church employees and volunteers. This includes pastors! Please attend this session next Thursday and invite anyone who serves youth and children in your church and church board members to attend!
Mike and Becky Mann, Global Servants serving in Thailand will be in Southern California from May into the summer. They would like to connect with churches while they are here to share about their ministry. If you'd like to find out more about having them visit your church, please contact the regional office.

They and all of our Global Servants need churches and individuals to provide financial support so they can continue to spread God's love where they serve. Please prayerfully consider the opportunity to support Mike and Becky and other Global Servants!

Also - they need a car while they are here. If you have a car they could borrow while here, let us know.
