Held at Palisades Retreat Center, Federal Way, Washington

August 26-29, 2008

We had a marvelous time at Palisades.  Thank you to all who flew many miles to join the fun and fellowship.  We'd especially like to thank our instructors (Steve Hall and Phyllis Rogers), and to the staff of Palisades Retreat Center.  We've posted a few of the photographs we took ... we'll continue posting as attendees send us new photos.

     Janos Shoemyen entertained everyone!                                                           The food was excellent!

 

            The fellowship among friends was even better!                              Pam and +Robert have a theological discussion.

 

     Deacon Mike was utilized in several capacities.                                       Fr. John Leasure leading Morning Prayer. 

 

   +Tim presents Fr. John with an English cross.                     Our speaker on "Grief and Loss" had a hands-on exercise.

 

    Each group was asked to draw "Grief" on paper.                                   The groups then presented their drawing with an explanation.

 

   We gave the other groups a handicap since Mike is an artist.
