Men's Retreat
The 2008 Men's Retreat was held on Friday, March 7th through Sunday the 9th, at the Mount Hermon Conference Center. This was a very special time of fellowship to connect with other men from various churches in the district. Come back in the future for details on the 2009 Men's Retreat.
The Men's Retreat is a great place to reflect on God's word to renew your mind and be transformed. "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." -- Romans 12:2 NKJV
The weekend is filled with many recreational activities designed to help you relax from the distractions of everyday life. The recreational activities include a 5K run, golf, bowling, basketball, darts, horseshoes, ping-pong, various board/table games and more!
Dennis Puleo
The speaker for the 2008 Men's Retreat was Dennis Puleo. The son of a machinist and hotel housekeeper, Dennis joined the Marines to fight in Vietnam. During his last engagement as a machine gunner, he took a direct hit by a hand grenade, was shot twice, and then torn apart by a mortar. After being awarded 3 Purple Hearts, Dennis spent a year recuperating in a VA hospital.
He left the hospital determined that hard work and a positive attitude would make him rich. An aggressive entrepreneur, he turned a home-based business into a multimillion dollar franchise. Yet all his success couldn't remove the emptiness that plagued him deep inside.
Today, Dennis shares how he discovered success that really matters through Jesus Christ. Dennis is not a theologian or seminary graduate...he draws from his experiences in the foxholes of war and business to encourage others toward a life of hope and purpose.
