  5. Men’s Retreat October 14-16

    Men of Hope Retreat • October 14-16th at Twin Lakes YMCA

    Body Building – Being and Building the Body of Christ

    Come focus this year on Body Building – Being and Building the Body of Christ with your brothers from Hope on retreat not far from home at the Twin Lakes YMCA Cedar Creek Camp. In I Corinthians 12:

    “For just as the body is one and has many members…If the foot should say, ‘Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,’…The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you…’

    …But God has so composed the body…that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.”

    KICK-BACK, RELAX TIME
    Unstructured time abounds: fellowship, sitting around the campfire, prayer, conversation, and time away to enjoy with brothers in Christ.

    And maybe mark some of them with a paintball.
