Whew….what an amazing weekend we had.  Well in this years installment of our men’s annual retreat, we had many more first timers than in the past.  We didn’t end up having snow, unless you consider a fire extinguisher issue that left white residue all over the place.  The food was great, as it always is. I distinctly remember telling Rodney and Sue Thomas that I was going to adopt them as parents, just so that I could go to their house for dinner!  That woman can COOK!

Like years past, we had men that shared openly, men that decided to remain silent and then pull us aside one by one and share privately.  We had men in tears, men laughing and overall, men just enjoying each others company.  If you look closely at the photo you will notice that we had young men, middle-aged men and senior statesmen.  It just seemed like this year, we really ended up having something for everyone.

Pastor Tim Iocoangeli served as our retreat pastor and did a wonderful job bringing a message that tied the entire weekend together.  The sessions were great and we received a lot of wonderful feedback.

If you missed it, Lord willing we will be able to do this again next year.
