Mountain Man Retreat

Each year the guys at the south end churches host a Mountain Man Retreat up at Sore Acres. The theme is always: God, Guys, Grub & Guns (I’m not positive about the order?) and all four are really good!!! They always have so much fun, it makes me wish I could go…

This year, our church brought a whole bunch of guys! Lots of them were under the age of 20! And God gave them really nice weather (well, nice for this year…)!

God: Stan Olsen was this year’s speaker and he had two sessions, one Friday night and one Saturday morning. He spoke about the story of David and Saul.

 Grub: Bob Unfried is in charge of the food, so you know it’s amazing! All I heard about when they got back (other than the guns) was the ribs, deep-fried turkeys, and jello (yes, the jello)!

MMR 20 MMR 21MMR 22 GUNS: Yup, there are a whole lotta guns up there! And that’s just the way they like it! The boys all came back to our place after the retreat. I assumed they were all playing some kind of first-person shooter game… Nope, they were watching video footage from the retreat! :o)
