Our Midwest Region Men's retreat, fell on a holiday and during a time of Senior graduation parties, etc, so turnout wasn't as large as some previous years, but was a success, none the less.
Excitement filled the air all weekend and the presence of God was continuing. lots of new friends, and fellowship as well as some great classes and preaching services in the evenings.

Then we had our Annual church camp out. it was a bit rainy, but overall, it wasn't too bad. A great turnout and even more joined for church under the tent at the campgrounds on Sunday.

And then last week, we had our annual community appreciation day. no preaching, just fun and fellowship. we did, of course have church information available and it was all free to the community. The cotton candy was a big hit this year, and as normal, the hot dogs were eaten as fast as they could be grilled.
