Chapter in Focus: Santa Barbara 
Santa Barbara has a lot of history, it is the first CSUS chapter started, way back in 1984! Matt Coleman has been the chapter director now for three years and was a grom in the original chapter. His passion to serve comes from seeing himself in the young surfers, where he came from, the importance that CS role models played in his own life and a desire to pass on that heritage of serving Jesus in love. SB is known currently for picking kids with leadership potential, grooming and discipling them to have an impact for Christ in the influential SB surf scene. Full of frothing groms between the ages of 12-17, trips like their annual Jalama campout are always a lot of fun! Check out their blog at christiansurferssb.blogspot.com/, contact Matt at mateocoleman@gmail.com for info on chapter meetings and upcoming events and check out christiansurfers.com for more on Matt's interview and pics of the chapter!
2009 CS Prep School is gonna be AWESOME! IF you are ages 13 to 17 and you want to learn to love others more - keep Prep School in mind. Check out last years Prep School and start packing for this year. More details to follow in February! 
First off, let's thank the Cocoa Beach and New Smyrna chapters for assisting CS Sebastian Inlet at the Sebastian Pro and providing security on two of the coldest nights of the event! A special thank you to Connie Howard, she was at the event almost every day with homemade cinammon rolls, French toast and chili. The Praise Report was that CSSI was able to serve the competitors and spectators throughout the event with great appreciation. We had over 30 people sign up for the email list, sold a dozen CS tees and passed out over 40 Noah's Arc DVD's. We also had some great conversations with with the surfers and others attending the event. Thanks again for everyone who committed time and effort to the event!

Surf EXPO may have been the best tradeshow to date. As always we had many meaningful conversations with thousands of individuals at the show, but the highlight was our new service opportunity. We printed up some very noticeable florescent color shirts and told the different exhibitors that the individuals wearing them were at the show to help. In love we were able to assist many different companies in breaking down their booths. CSUS was also able to give away 500 evangelistic DVD's, 450 Channel magazines as well as hundreds of stickers and brochures. The last day of the show we had the opportunity to worship with Vero Beach Calvary Chapel in an early morning service. These same things will be taking place in San Diego at the ASR Show.
March 6-8 CS Huntington Beach and Newport Beach are putting on a winter retreat at Mammoth Mountain, CA. There are 65 total spots available and are going fast! The cost includes transportation, lodging, breakfasts/lunches and a worship banquet/catered dinner Sat. night. To register online and for more details go to www.christiansurfershb.com/trips-events. |
