BACK FOR THE NEW YEAR



Hello -



HAPPY NEW YEAR!


I am back to posting after a wonderful Holiday season, including a week with Dorianne and our friends, Robert Hitz & Jane Hughes, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. it is a beautiful place - we stayed south of the city in a town called Mismaloya, nestled between the jungle and the ocean. Very quiet and peaceful.





The Westlake Church is in the swing of the New Year, with increased attendance, new classes, and a wonderful energy. Cherie Deeds and our musical team have been especially powerful this month. We are finalizing our budget and preparing for our Annual Membership Meeting on Feb 11th.





On Feb 10th, our Wine Tasting trip will see 50 Westlakers headed to the Santa Ynez area for a day of tasting and communing with nature and each other.





The BIG NEWS is that I will be leading a trip to China in October. The ANCIENT WISDOM tour will depart Oct 22nd and return Nov 1. We will travel to Bejing, Xian, Shanghai, and Suzhou, visiting the magnificent sites, the many temples and shirnes, and the wonderful Chinese people. More info to come on this trip - reply if you would like to join us. We will will traveling with a group from Simi Valley (Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones) and one from Edmonton, AB (Rev. Patrick Cameron).





More observations and ideas later - keep checking in.





Love and Light,


RevLockard
