Womens Ice-Olation Weekend Retreat

A weekend of solitude with the Lord.

 

A beautiful sunrise just coming over the mountains, peeking through the trees.

 

It was definitely a women's weekend. The bathroom countertops were loaded with the "necessities".

Mens Weekend Retreat

Twenty eight men from every possible walk of life spent last weekend at Big Canyon being challenged and encouraged in their walk with Christ. In addition to some powerful life-changing content, a lot of fun was had throwing tomahawks, shooting rifles and shotguns, slinging the football, playing "winter golf", and just being guys at casino night.

 

One of our guests for the opening meal.  He must have known elk chili was on the menu.  Next year it might be moose chili (just kidding...come on!)
