Men's Retreat

Went to the Men's retreat at Camp Cazadero over the weekend.

Excellent time, able to bond with friends old and new. Had great worship, great times talking and laughing, Pastor Lawler did a fabulous job with the theme for the weekend – SEEDS – which stands for:

Seek
Engage
Equip
Deploy
Serve

It was based on the idea that we need to seek men to bring to God, make sure we engage them correctly, equip them with the Word, deploy them to do the same, and serve them throughout their life.

At the end, we all separated into groups to pick out which ministry we were going to be a part of.

I am actually heading up the Construction Ministry. I’m hoping to build it up in such a way that we can work together with other churches eventually to film a Bless Your House – http://www.blessyourhouse.com/ – in the community.

We’ll start small, kind of get our feet wet with some small rehabs, and then crank it up as time and God’s will goes on.

So that’s exciting!

I’ll keep everyone posted.

PS. Diane told me a funny story today, so I thought I would share. Aaric is my four year old youngest son. A couple of days ago, his soccer teacher asked him, “When are you going to be 5, Aaric?”

He said, “On my birthday.”

I hope there was some sort of toddler sarcasm in that. :)
