Services & Assemblies

Friday night after dinner and some fun activities we’ll come together for some time around the campfire where we will learn together what it means to be a Christlike man and how we can encourage one another to get there.  We’ll gather again on Saturday morning for a brief devotional message before we begin all the big activities of the day.  And we’ll gather one final time Saturday afternoon to award prizes for selected events, celebrate all the great things we’ve enjoyed together, and say goodbye to all the new friends we’ve made.
