MEN’S CAMPING RETREAT The guys are going camping the weekend of May 15-17. How about joining them on the river? Pack your tent, or bring your RV, and join in the fellowship, worship, and fun. They are trying out a new camping spot this year. It’s on the Elk River at the River Ranch Resort in Noel, MO. There’s lots of activities available: canoeing, fishing, miniature golf, etc. Don’t have a tent or RV? Don’t worry, there’s room. Any questions? Talk with Sonny E.,  Sign up sheet is in the narthex. Total cost will probably be around $30.00.
