MEN'S RETREAT, MARCH 2007
Well....it happens every year, lately. The men of the Schuyler church plan and execute a Friday night/Saturday morning series of 3 talks, 3 grand meals, and recreation. They try to be spiritual about it all, believing it to be 'good for them'...but it is a good time, pure and simple.
This year had a new wrinkle...the Hispanic Ministry of the Piedmont Association brought in about five Mexican men and boys, along with its translator, Evan Johnson.
Our speaker was Dewayne Martin, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Amherst County, Virginia. Dewayne is shown here telling about the 3 Things Every Man should Know.
The menu, you ask? Prime rib on Friday night...killer breakfast on Saturday morning, including bacon, sausage, eggs, hash browns, and for the intrepid---baked fish [well...one has to provide for Lent, you know].
The Recreation Phase...began with horseshoes, accerlating into archery, .22 rifle shooting, and high power rifle target shooting. Prizes were awarded the best team, and the top three aggregate shooters.
We are indebted to Ronnie and Florence Dorrier, who opened their hearts and their farm to the annual invasion, in the name of God.
This shows Mario pitching with some Vaquero style, and Jose lining up the horseshoe stake.....

I love the pictures and description. Sounds like "a good time was had by all"!
COOL! FUN!
(But *fish for breakfast* reminds me of the time that Basil Fawlty served a dead man out-of-date kippers, never realizing that the man was "no more"...but just thinking that the guest was rude! One of the best episodes ever--"The Kipper & the Corpse!")
Looks like a new post-great! ;-)
Sounds like a great time for all the participants. What, no muzzleloading this year?
I'm thinking you have motivated me to test the local waters for our own men's church group rendezvous in the woods...stellar idea!
