| Men's Retreat 2001 |
Just a quick update for you on the 2001 Men's Retreat:
Things are cooking along now. The theme for 2001 will be "Men of
Purpose"
-- we'll be focusing on being men who are aware of the purposes God has
for us in the different areas of our lives. Speakers are still being
confirmed: a mailing will be sent to everyone on our mailing list when we
have that finalized.
New this year: We're going to experiment with a "track" format. We'll
split up for three different sessions that will focus our theme on
specific areas of interest. You'll be able to choose between a Family
track, a Leadership track, and a Christ in Culture track. There will also
be a separate track for teens. There'll still be plenty of time to be
together, but we believe that the track format will allow for deeper
reflection into the purposes that God wants to achieve in the different
areas of our lives.
Prices will remain the same: $45 to stay in a cabin, $65 for a Retreat
Center room. As always, the Retreat Center will be first come, first
served.
