RETREAT!


Church planters know how difficult and crazy church planting is - like only war vets know what serving in a war is like. Acts 29 is a network of church planters - so the leadership of the network understands the demands of starting a new church. Every year the network plans a retreat for the pastors and wives. Like last year, this year's retreat is in Vail, CO.
The network also knows that most chur
ch planters live on a shoe string budget! So, they pay for our place to stay (the Vail Cascade Resort and Spa) and all of our food - we just have to get there. Its that time!
Today we are packing - for ourselves and our kids! The kids will not be going with us, but will be going here and there between grand parents (and staying here with the Intern). Amy and I will fly to Denver tomorrow to hang out with Aaron and Kristen and visit New City Church Denver. On Monday we will head over to Vail where we will stay until Friday. (thieves and robbers we have house sitters - no burgeling). One of the great things about the A-29 retreat is that it is truly a retreat - very little of our time is required for meetings - just lots of rest in a beautiful place.
Oh Yeah! AND this year - some great downhill mountain biking!
