What:

A sand beach on a lone island can be a beautiful place for solitude and retreat. There is joy and peace in being alone in nature and with God.

However, isolating from life in a world of our own can be risky and dangerous. Community and friendship provide perspective, support, and fun,and help us experience the love and care of God.

A healthy balance of solitude and community is desirable in life. At the Men’s Getaway this year, we want to hear stories and experiences, to learn and talk about this balance. We want to give and receive from each other. The mix of personalities and lifestyles we all bring will be exciting and fun.

Rick Hill, pastor of Elim Chapel and a friend of the Vineyard, will lead us as we consider these themes. He is a seasoned leader and will bring some men from his church to be with us.

Worship, teaching, prayer, fellowship, and recreation – all at the Lake of the Woods – will blend together for a great time. And, of course, the food will once again be spectacular!
