One Year to Live
Men's Retreat
September 10-12, Sky Ranch

online registration
Registration Deadline, August 27
Colorado is all about the outdoors
so why keep a men’s fellowship confined in a building?
A new approach to men’s ministry developed by Lutheran Men in Mission
(LMM) and piloted in Denver, Colorado is now rolling out to
congregations all over the country.
This weekend is being held in September. Men can create a
"Band of Brothers" through outdoor adventure, fellowship, and a deeper
walk with Christ.

The kick-off
is a
Men’s Retreat
on September 10-12 like nothing most men have ever experienced.
The
retreat is only the beginning!
Men who attend the kick-off weekend will
continue to meet together in small groups for

adventures. The groups will
work through a 12 session “One Year to Live” series developed especially
for men by LMM and Lyman Coleman, the founder and former CEO of
Serendipity Press.
About the
Retreat
The retreat will begin promptly at 5:30 pm on Friday, September 10 and
finish at 3:00 pm on Sunday, September 12.
Please plan to eat dinner before you arrive on Friday.
What’s included in the
cost?
The
registration cost for the retreat includes lodging and meeting
facilities, printed materials, meals from Saturday breakfast through
Sunday lunch, and snack / coffee breaks.

About “One Year to Live”
“One
Year to Live is not about trying to fill parish halls with men,”
says Doug Haugen, ELCA Director of LMM.
“It’s about creating places and events where men encounter Christ
and where discipleship can take place.
It’s about men who know their lives are a train wreck without
Jesus and who are willing to walk with other guys, not only in the good
times, but also in life’s dumpsters.
Those kinds of places and events often do not happen within the
walls of a church building.”

One Year to Live
is a strategy for men to seriously look at their lives, to make
significant decisions and work with other men to hold each other
accountable for those decisions made about their spiritual journey.
It is an opportunity to explore the difference the Christian
faith can make in the lives of men today with families, at work and in
the Christian community.
Bethany co-leader Todd Little likes to call One Year to Live
“Bible Study Meets Indiana Jones.”
“Our congregation is full of men who are yearning for a spiritual
connection with Christ and with their brothers in the church. This new
program offers an opportunity to be adventurous and courageous while at
the same time spiritual, genuine, and vulnerable.”
“This
is truly a program that helps us men be the husbands, fathers, and
friends that God has always wanted us to be!”
