The Young Adults are not able to field a team for sunday. Some would say they forfeit, others might even say they have finals next week so they can’t play, but one person told me that they are just plain scared. Whatever the reason we will still play flag football on Super Sunday!!!
But in honor of Super Sunday (and just to have an excuse to play some flagfootball) we will be meeting at MGA (975 Freemont St, Calimesa) on sunday morning for a young families morning of flag football.
This will be a coed event so come one, come all for a fun and friendly game of football.
Please let Todd Nelson (rhonda’s husband…aka Hollywood) know that you are coming. We just want to make sure we have enough to play. If you don’t have Todd’s Contact info, just place a comment here and i’ll make sure you can get in touch with him.

National Public Radio (NPR) did a profile on Senate Chaplain Barry Black this past weekend. Many of you have probably read his book From the Hood to the Hill. He was a decorated Rear Admiral of the Navy (Ret.) before becoming Chaplain of the US Senate. He is also an Adventist pastor.
This story is not only a behind the scenes look at the humanity of our civic leaders but a profile on a man of God that can be a source of encouragement and conversation with our kids. Visit the npr site for the audio interview and story by NPR.

We had a wonderful Walk for Haiti. Thanks to everyone that came out to support us this morning! We had almost 60 people supporting the relief efforts in Haiti. We are awaiting some final contributions and will have the fundraising totals hopefully by next Sabbath. Here are some pics.

If you are like me, you have used prescription eyeglasses you don’t know what to do with. Either your prescription has changed or the style just doesn’t define you as well anymore. Well, let us help you with a great cause to donate your used eyeglasses to…your friends in Roatan.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 153 million people worldwide have uncorrected refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism). Refractive errors can easily be corrected with eyeglasses.
Yet, 138 million or 90% of people with uncorrected refractive errors live in African, Asian, and Latin American countries. This is because in many of these countries people cannot afford the cost of a simple pair of eyeglasses.
an eye exam can cost as much as one month’s salary
a bottle of eye medication to relieve a simple eye infection would probably take food off a family’s table for weeks.
a pair of eyeglasses can be the equivalent of a year’s salary (source. http://www.eyeseemission.org/)
Our friends in Roatan are living in similar situations as the ones described above. As part of our outreach this year we will be providing eyeglasses to the community. Loma Linda Optometry/Dr. Doug Soderblom is partnering with us to help with this project. You can bring or send in your pre-owned eyeglasses to the Calimesa SDA Church. 391 Myrtlewood Dr. Calimesa, CA 92320.
We can use all types of eyeglasses and sunglasses sunglasses for all ages.
