ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear Brothers,

There had been suggestions that the name "CalvaryMen" is no longer appropriate for our group. We are now from at least 6 different churches and we do have some brothers who were not previously from Calvary Church. Although the word "Calvary" is not exclusive to Calvary Church, the continued association in the mind of some can be confusing. Therefore it had been suggested the name be changed. One suggestion is "Men In Christ". This is in line with our tagline, "Building and reaching men in Christ", Ephesians 2:10. I would also support that name with the following from my commentary Bible:

IN CHRIST JESUS.
Every "faithful" believer has life only "in Christ Jesus."
1. The terms "in Christ Jesus," "in the Lord," "in Him," etc., occur 100 times in Paul's writings (36 time in Ephesians). "in Christ" means that the believer now lives and acts in the sphere of Christ Jesus. Union with Christ is the redeemed Christian's new environment. "In Christ" believers have conscious communion with their Lord, and in this relationship with Christ is the most important thing in Christian experience. Union with Christ comes as a gift of God through faith.

2. The Bible contrasts our new life "in Christ" with our old unregenerated life "in Adam." Whereas the old life is characterized by disobedience, sin, condemnation and death, our new life "in Christ" is characterized by salvation, life in the Spirit, abundant grace, righteousness and eternal life.

In 2010, I asked the Lord for 20 men and God answered my prayer and exactly 20 men signed up.

We booked a dorm and this dorm which can accommodate 20 men exactly. Praise The Lord.

For the last day of the retreat, we supposed to have our lunch before we leave. This lunch was for 20 pax, there were 3 visitors came to our retreat but there were 3 men who left earlier before lunch. 3 visitors took their places so no need to pay extra cost for lunch.

To God Be The Glory. Amen
