Fri.-Sun. November 5-7, 2010 CAMP LACKAWANNA Tunkhannock Pa. For the past 10 years we have enjoyed getting together for a weekend of relaxation, bible study, and recreation.

Camp Lackawanna is located on the banks of the Susquehanna River between Tunkhannock and Mehoopany.

It offers a beautiful surrounding, and plenty of hiking and fishing.

The Smyrl Lodge, where we stay, has a spacious gathering area, full kitchen, and 12 bunk rooms that, because of our enrollment, end up being individual rooms.

We have found this retreat to be a time when men/boys fathers/sons can come together for some quality time.

The program starts on Friday evening with a supper provided, followed by a Bible Study session and relaxation of games, or watching your favorite DVD. (Bring it along…)

This year we are going to be having a number of tournaments, that involve card games, video game and bocci ball.

Saturday has a breakfast provided followed by Bible Study session. We break around noon for your own idea of what you find enjoyable or relaxing. We reconvene in the later afternoon to eat a cook out supper with meat that you will provide. In the evening we have another bible Study session, followed again by relaxation with the same format as the night before.

Sunday morning starts off with an informal communion service, followed by breakfast another bible study session and more opportunity for you to find your own thing to enjoy.

We adjourn in the early afternoon.

The topics that we will be studying in our 6 hours of study will be a session on the religion of Islam, and a special video course produced by the Lutheran Hour Ministries on being a Christian citizen in our nation featuring Dale Meyer
