Happy 30th day of Legislature......only 60 more days to go (please pray for me.......).


The Outdoorsmen Family Ski day at Great Divide was a great success. Please take a moment to give Keith Newmeyer a pat on the back for doing the lion's share on this one. I know there were many others involved that also need thanks but the one that comes to mind right now is Tom Stockton; thanks for hauling up the fire pit and keeping the water hot for everyone. Perhaps next year we can do two of these. If we get a few more guys involved to help out and if Keith can workout the details with Great Divide I think it'd be a good idea.


Sunday's meeting was a little sparse compared to the Tuesday turn-outs we've been getting but the Bible study was good. We got down to business by about 5:45 and walked out promptly at 7:00 PM. We finished up Luke 17:20-37 and moved on to 18:1-8 (The Unjust Judge). We'll be finishing up Luke 18:1-8 and get into Luke 18:9-14 (Two Prayers) at the next meeting on Tuesday, February 17.



Upcoming Outdoorsmen Events

Sunday February 15 - Ice fishing after church -- Canyon Ferry
Meet after second service in the foyer. Be sure to bring your gear and be ready to fish.

Saturday March 14 - Ice fishing -- Canyon Ferry
Official meeting time and place not yet set but most likely early in East Helena. Stay tuned for more details.

Saturday March 28 - Fly Fishing -- Meet at HSBC
This is a learn-to-fly fish outing done in conjunction with CrossCurrents of Helena. Some gear will be available for those who don't have any. More details to follow but this is a great opportunity to find out what fly fishing is all about.

Saturday April 11 - Outdoorsmen Trap Shoot -- Helena Trap Club
This is another community event put on by the Outdoorsmen. It's a lot of fun for everyone.

Friday - Sunday April 24 - 26 - Outdoorsmen men's backpacking trip -- Meet at HSBC
I believe the location is going to be the same as last year which is along the MO between Hauser and Holter. If you plan on going on this trip (and you should) you need to be sure to attend some Tuesday meetings to learn all the details.



Next Outdoorsmen meeting and Bible study

Tuesday February 17, Smith's Place in East Helena, 7:00 PM
Please read Luke chapter 18. I'm going to suggest we get into Bible study no later than 8:15 PM for the benefit of those (me) that can't stay past 11:00 PM. One hour and fifteen minutes should be adequate for Outdoorsmen business in my opinion but please feel free to chime in on this. We're all a part of this group and the meetings are for all our benefit so please let me know if you do or don't agree.

Sunday February 22, Starbuck's on Prospect, 5:30 - 7:00 PM
We'll still be in Luke chapter 18. Remember that the meeting is only one and a half hours and Starbuck's closes promptly at 7:00 PM. Please arrive on time so we can get to it.



Note: For those who don't know, HSBC is Hannaford Street Bible Church and it is located at
830 N Hannaford St.
Helena, MT
