Fall Retreat 2004 Wrap-Up - November 20 & 21, 2004, Ankeny COB, Ankeny, IA
The Fall Retreat this year started out on Saturday morning Mwith a small group of youth taking a hike at near-by Saylorville Lake.

As the day wore on, more youth showed up. By mid-afternoon, we had almost 20 youth, and the programming got underway. The programming, led by Jeff Neuman-Lee, included a good discussion on Christ's Peace, and was followed up by a very fun project. The goal was to make a movie, expressing how one would convey the Peace of Christ to non-believers. The final products were highly entertaining and somewhat abstract, which led for even more entertaining discussion afterward.

After the programming, we enjoyed eachother's company by watching a documentary and playing games. The following morning, the youth attended Sunday worship at the Ankeny Church of the Brethren.
