2019 Men’s Retreat Report

By Jim Milton, Chair, Pacific Northwest Conference Men’s Ministry

We had a great retreat with 70 guys attending including sons.  Several of us got there early to beat the traffic and play golf Friday afternoon.  The food was great starting with Friday supper thru Sunday Breakfast.

We had 4 speakers dividing  the Book of Ephesians into

  • Introduction, The tools God provided by Esau Del Arca, Inglasia Esperanza Viva, Kent Covenant
  • Using the Tools, Mark Swanson, Wiley Heights Covenant
  • Craftsmanship, Rhyan Smith, Grace Covenant, Olympia
  • The Armor of God by Monty Harmon, Covenant Men’s Board.

Each session was followed by a brief breakout.

Saturdays morning session was followed by Workshops with the speakers on Ephesians; Sharing your Faith, Doug Olson Tacoma Covenant; and a joint session on Emergency Response and Alaska Mission Projects by Dick Nystrom and Jim Milton.

A great time was had on the Zip Line and Climbing Tower and other activities Saturday afternoon.  A work party helped out cleaning Cascades trails from a snowy winter season. The retreat was concluded with Sunday service including communion!
