If it's May We Must Be Going to Tall Timber!

It's become an annual thing! Memorial Weekend while other folks are going to parades, lighting up the Barby, competing in the Ski-to Sea race, or paying tribute to those who died for our country, my sweetie and I will be heading east of the mountains to our favorite camp for the weekend. We're taking a whole bunch of our favorite people with us as we have the last few years. It's the weekend better known as "Work and Worship", a time well spent doing a myriad of things to spiff the place up in time for summer camp.

For us its also a great opportunity to take our small group out on a service project. We think of it as a mission trip that does not require a passport. A time for our group to better bond and share adventure, a time to serve and be blessed as we bless.

Of course, for Bruce and I Tall Timber Ranch is a special place and we love any reason to get over there! We leave tomorrow and I am excited to see what God has in store for us this year!

Work and Worship Weekend

Tomorrow Bruce and I, along with about 18 people from our church and circle of friends,  leave to Tall Timber Ranch for the long weekend. It's the annual Work and Worship Memorial Weekend at camp.

We will spend time working on the camp, getting it cleaned up, spruced up, and repaired up for summer camp. We will also have times of worship (think singing praise songs around the campfire) and fellowship, recreation and relaxation.

Last year we went, taking our small group with us. The members of our small group were so jazzed about the weekend experience that they talked it up all year and as a result we have 20 people going with us this time!

 It is sure to be a wonderful time of growing closer to both God and His creation, and with each other as we team up on service projects.

If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time you probably know that Bruce and I are partial to Tall Timber Ranch as it plays an important (key) role in the developing of our relationship. Anytime we can get over to 'our' camp, we are excited. But because of the raw beauty of this place and the Spirit that fills this place, we love it when we get to introduce it to others. At least half of our group this year are newbies to Tall Timber and I just love that.
