Church-wide Retreat This Weekend: Great Time (.. and great door prizes in our "Swap Meet!")

All are welcome at this weekend's church-wide retreat!  It will be a great time of fellowship, visioning, planning, worshipping, etc!

Also, there will be some great door prizes in our "Swap Meet" -- available to all who participate Friday and/or Saturday!

Come one!  Come all!!!

*It's not too late to call the church office (406-777-5443) and reserve your place at the table during this retreat!  We hope to see YOU there!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
In our "Swap Meet," each handmade/donated door prize item that has been donated will be placed on a table with a plastic snack-sized zip-lock bag next to it -- marked with its description. 

Attendees will be given "bid cards"-- upon which they can write their names.  Then they can place their "bid cards" into the zip-lock bag(s) next to the items that would like to receive.  

During Saturday's lunchtime of the retreat, one name will be drawn from each zip-lock bag and then that person will be awarded that particular "prize!"  

Each Friday night participant will be given 3 "bid cards."  Each Saturday participant will be given 3 "bid cards."  If folks attend both days of the retreat, they will have more opportunities to receive their desired item(s)!

This great idea was implemented at last fall's United Methodist Women's (UMW's) district-wide retreat.  Click on this sentence to read/see all about it!
