The California Association of Regular Baptist Churches will host its annual Christian Workers Retreat at the Hilton Garden Inn in beautiful Monterey, California, Jan. 18–20. Dr. R. Larry Overstreet will be the speaker. As a former pastor and a professor of future pastors and Christian workers, Overstreet firmly believes in the verbal inspiration and full authority of the Word of God, and the desperate need in our day for its truths to be presented clearly and forcefully. He desires to help individual believers and Christian families have their lives solidly established on the principles of God’s Word. Cost for the retreat is $115 per room per night (using the identifier “CARBC Retreat”), plus $80 per person for the program, which includes two dinners at the hotel.
