State Rep Report
The highlight of January was the Annual Christian Workers’ Retreat at Cambria Pines Lodge in Cambria. This year 80+ people attended all or part of the Retreat. The intermittent downpours and power outages cultivated a pioneer spirit and everyone had a great time. Chris Law, Pastor of First Baptist in Cambria, Randy Pollard, Pastor of Sierra Baptist in Newcastle and Dave Nicholas, President of Shasta Bible College, challenged us to “Rest, Relax, Refresh and Recharge”! Every message was a blessing. Tom and Martha Pryde brought a “Sermon in Song” on Wednesday morning, a blend of inspirational music and a challenge from the Word. Tom's website is www.sermonsinsong.org. We also heard reports from various missionaries and ministries throughout the State.As an added bonus, we were privileged to preview the new film, “No Greater Love,” starring one of our pastors, Jay Underwood, from First Baptist in Weaverville. If you haven’t seen this film, we highly recommend it. Check it out at www.NoGreaterLoveTheMovie.com. First Baptist Church in Cambria helped in a number of ways: Pastor Chris and Jenny Law, and Associate Pastor Mark and Bethany Kelley led the corporate worship services. Church members provided child care during the main sessions making it possible for pastors with young children to attend and, as always, the folks at First Baptist cooked a feast at noon on Wednesday to close out the Retreat on a high note. Tri-tip this year! What a blessing to have a local church so committed to serving others.Preaching opportunities this month included Calvary Baptist in Hesperia, pastored by Tom Ratcliff; Westwood Baptist in Fresno, First Baptist in Cambria, Bethany Baptist in Martinez, pastored by Richard Rushing, and Fairway Park in Fremont.At the moment five of our churches are praying for a pastor: Westwood, Fresno; Calvary, Anaheim; Bethel, Lancaster; LifePointe, Woodland and First Baptist, Wilmington. Please keep these pulpit committees in your prayers.We appreciate your faithful support. May God richly bless you!Ron Schrock

Pick Up the Tempo!
Probably one of the most significant things a Pastor can do for
his church is "pick up the tempo!" I'm not talking about more
programs or making more calls. I'm talking about putting a bounce in the music and a spring in your step. People come into our churches discouraged, looking for a positive attitude, an uplifting service, someone to give them hope. Like children, they can tell when we are excited about the ministry or overwhelmed and pessimistic. Enthusiasm is contagious! Pastor, leave your to-do list at the door and enjoy your people on Sunday. Love them unconditionally, joke with them, smile at them - stand up straight and let them know you are confident God has great things in store for your church. Pick up the tempo!
