Weekend with Basil

On the weekend of May 14-16, the Shiloh Retreat Center in New Baltimore, NY, was blessed to have a Men’s Retreat with Pastor Basil Harris of Virginia as the guest speaker. The theme of the retreat was “Men, do you have what you need?” exploring the who, what, where, and how of our relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Friday-to-Sunday retreat featured four different sessions of teaching from Pastor Basil. We learned about who we are in our relationship with God, about what we need to represent God to others, about the place of rest where God has put us and about how we can share our faith in God with others.

The worship led by Tommy G. was awesome. Each session the worship team brought us closer to the Holy Place of God as we gave honor, glory and praise to Jesus Christ.

As usual, the friendship, fellowship and hospitality of the Stadtlander Family at Shiloh was unmatched. The meals were excellent and we are certainly blessed to have such a beautiful family ministering to the retreats. Shiloh has never looked better thanks to the care and love they continue to show for it. May God continue to bless them.

It was too bad more people couldn’t make the retreat. All of us who attended were truly blessed by the teaching and the fellowship. It was also great to see two old friends who made the trip. Steve M. came up from Pennsylvania and Charlie B. made the trip from central New York.

Now here is some good news; Pastor Basil will return in the fall. So, men, check your calendars and clear your schedules and start making plans to attend the Men’s Retreat on the first weekend in November.

You will be blessed!!!
