This month, CLB President Paul Larson invites you to join us in Cannon Beach, Oregon on March 4-6 for our annual Leadership (L.E.A.D.) retreat. New this year… first-time attendees will receive a 25% discount on registration! with a grateful heart,

“It’s the economy, stupid.” or, maybe, “it’s terrorism, stupid”, or the environment, or healthcare, or national security, etc., etc. -- so campaign platforms have vaunted their bottom-line focus. But what if the church and its leaders had a platform for their campaign?! What, if God’s people were honed very clear about who and why they are?! It’s the gospel. Neither irreligion nor religion, the gospel gets at something deeper. It is the gospel that pervades God’s people. It is what creates us, continues to shape us, motivates us, gives us meaning, and sends us. We look forward to engaging together at this spring’s “L.E.A.D. Retreat" at Cannon Beach, to see the gospel alive and at work making and shaping leaders.

L.E.A.D. Retreat 2016 speaker: CLB President Rev. Paul Larson

We are calling it L.E.A.D. because leadership is about Loving Christ and His people, being continually Equipped with the skills of a leader, Aspiring others to follow God’s plans & vision, and Developing future leaders who will carry the mission forward. No matter where you are called to lead: in church, in the family, or in the marketplace; God desires to bring the Gospel there. You are invited to join us this March 4-6 at the Cannon Beach Conference Center in Cannon Beach, Oregon as we consider, “The Gospel in Leadership.” Visit www.leadretreat.weebly.com for more information and to register now. Come for a weekend to rest, to enjoy warm fellowship, and to grow as the leader God has called you to be. I look forward to seeing you there!
