Peckville 2008 Winter Retreat
Friday - Sunday
January 11, 12, & 13
The Peckville UMC has such a rich history with and a deep love for Sky Lake that we
though it would only be fitting if our church had its own web page dedicated to Sky Lake.
Over the years since 1949 many campers and counselors came from Peckville. In fact
Jeremy Lucas and Sarah Taylor have spent entire summers working and counseling at the
camp. Bonny Taylor was among the first camper at Sky Lake from Peckville.
But it is the winter retreats that sealed a love affair between Peckville UMC and Sky
Lake. It started back in 1969 when the young adults and the youth of the church had the
first retreat. Riley was brand new and it those early years it was filled with teenagers
on one side and young adults on the other. Does anyone remember that our only snack for
the weekend was our nightly popcorn and smore's? How that has changed. After a time of not
having the winter retreats during the 1980's Ron Lucas lit a spark under the dry tinder of
the old tradition and it has come to a full roar of excitement ever since.
Take a look at the photos and stories on this page to remember, and also look at this
content to get excited to become part of the experience now, ...... The experience that is
Sky Lake Winter Retreat.
What happens here shapes tomorrow, through God's Grace Peckville UMC is living proof. |
We will keep a warming fire lit.
