Start off the New Year with a retreat to Crystal Springs! We’ll spend twenty-four hours together in the middle of the winter talking about God being God in all seasons while having a blast with winter activities like flashlight hikes, snow tubing, and staing cozy with warm beverages. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to connect with friends and God in a new way!

Tonight 75 members from the Lions Clubs of Southwest Michigan came to visit Camp Leo Campers at Crystal Springs Camp & Retreat Center. After our cookout a few of them realized we left the zorbs out in the yard. A Zorb party didn't take long to develop.
I think these would be a great addition to BLC!!! Tina!!!
Looks fun!
The instrument you "hear" when you see this (and sing it in your head), is probably determined by where you learned it (organ, piano, guitar, a cappella). What do you hear?
