Grace Community

Another Great Weekend
With awesome leaders, fun group of kids, and snow!
The radiant heat was hooked up and ready to go when the campers arrived. Good thing because we needed it. Brrr!

When they arrived Friday evening, they played night games outside. Next morning the snow came. They still wanted to play paintball - so that is what they did!

Thanks Grace Community for an awesome weekend!

Creekside Christian Fellowship
Women's Weekend Together '08
This last weekend we had a group of about 30 women for a retreat. Christina G. from Southeast Baptist in Salt Lake was the guest speaker. She did an awesome job. The women were encouraged in their walks with the Lord.
We pushed the couches to the side and brought in tables and chairs. It worked well. It was a great weekend!

Friday Evening Music Fest 08

Unplugged - Music Fest '08
This took place Friday evening, in what we call the Aspen Grove. Surrounded by trees and a big Victory Ring (firepit), it made for a more intimate time of fellowship and worship. We had two different worship teams play. The first group was Zach Roper (and his band) and then there was Ricky Stroud. They all did a great job.

Stain On!

Let there be Color!
Joel and his crew showed up first thing in the morning and were done by the end of the day.

Windows, doors and rock covered in plastic.


Staining away.



Voila! Finished.


Some of the landscaping we did on Saturday and the stain closer up.


It looks awesome! I did not get great pics b/c it was getting dark but you get the idea.

(FYI: the piece of plywood over the front door will be replaced with a window when it arrives.)

In Goes...

The Grass Amphitheater
A missions group of 30+ from California put in over 7 hours of labor laying sod.
AMAZING!!


Let it Rain!

Better Yet, Let it Sprinkle!
Ephraim, UT Youth Group
Ben and Candice B. brought their youth group to Big Canyon for a week of hard labor. They were awesome!! They dug sprinkler trenches, threw big rocks, and layed sprinkler pipe for the grass amphitheater. They also worked on projects at the cabin.

Placing pipe where needed


Laying out the pipe

Caulking the Lodge in prep for the stain.


Washing the mud


The Result: Dirty Kids!


Because the group was smaller we decided to have them in our home each evening for dinner. We were blessed to have them with our family.

Celebrated 2 Birthdays

Yummy cake!




Helping with dishes



Playing on the tramp




And just hanging out in the backyard. Lots of fun!

Thanks so much EYG!
