mawio'mi: the gathering 2013

This was our 3rd annual men's retreat at Arrowhead, and it was an immense blessing. The fellowship and preaching of the Gospel was both an encouragement and challenge. Church planter and pastor, Dave Storey from Doaktown, NB, opened God's Word with us in several sessions over the course of the weekend. We were challenged to strive for the Holiness that God demands, and we were challenged to examine ourselves and know if we are in the Faith. The Gospel was clear and practical and a true blessing.

As is always the case, we had a blast playing our man-games as well. This year's theme was a Lumberjack Chili Cook-off, and it was a lot of fun - I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

We played numerous lumberjack games, the Caber Toss was one such competition.

The onlookers!

Carroll Hill showed us how it's to be done... in many of the competitions! he was a tough competitor.

And of course, the chili cook-off. We broke into teams and assembled our masterpieces!
