There are two purposes for the men’s annual adventure weekend. The first is friendship in the name of Christ. Most men spend the bulk of their time at work and tending to family, with little room for friendship with other men. The adventure component of the weekend provides a common interest around which friendship can be formed. C.S. Lewis expresses the need for such common interests when he contrasts romantic love with friendship stating, “We picture lovers face to face but friends side by side; their eyes look ahead” (The Four Loves). Their eyes are looking ahead at the adventure at hand and the friendship develops in the common pursuit. In addition to friendship, we want to grow individually as disciples, learning about God’s ways and how to live as a man of God. This year’s retreat will focus on “stepping on our idols,” a recognition of habits that prioritize things other than God. We will be teaching key components of the book “You Are What You Love” by James K.A. Smith. Participants are welcome to read the book ahead of time, but it is not expected. We will have four teaching slots alongside the common meals (Dinners Fri & Sat and Breakfasts Sat & Sun). We will formally conclude our time with a communion service on Sunday morning.
Cost: Registration is $25 per person. (There are extra costs for adventures.)
Tents and campers are welcome. Note that there will not be electrical hookups at the campsite this year.
Feel free to bring friends or family, even if they don't go to our church.

Meals:- Included in your event registration will be dinner on Friday and Saturday, as well as breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. You will be on your own for lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Since you will be out on adventures on Saturday, you will either pack your own lunch or eat at a restaurant while you are out.
