This year the theme was Reaching My World Now with a special emphasis on Christian witness. Larry Reeves, Associate BSU Director of the University of Knoxville, led the study Friday night and Saturday morning. Larry Murphy opened the worship service Fri- day, and Dr. Walton Padelford shared with the group Saturday night. The final session held Sunday morning was led by Rick Astle, Director of Admissions of South- ern Seminary. Dr. Bob Agee of Union also led two ses- sions. The retreat provided a time for Christian growth and a time for Christian fun. Those at the retreat could try their hand at canoeing, basketball, football, volleyball, as well as other activities. It is hoped that the theme will continue to live on the Union campus. The [ohnson sisters sing a tune. Larry Reeves shares experiences.
