Late last week we had the privilege of hosting a dinner for some of Grace Adventures’ Golf Fore Kids participants. Thanks to Team Pagano/Beebe for helping us break in our new grill (which fit 40 steaks at once)!

When the unexpected happens, you see what a place is really made of.

After the recent weather brought flooding to the basement of the lodge, we watched something beautiful unfold. People showed up. Boots on. Sleeves rolled. Hearts ready to serve.

To every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and care… thank you. You didn’t just help clean up a space. You helped restore a place where people come to meet with God, find rest, and reconnect with what matters most.

Because of you, this place keeps moving forward.
Because of you, The Shack continues to be a place of peace, even after the storm.

We’re deeply grateful. Truly.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” – Hebrews 10:24
