Encore

June 5-9, 2023

2023 marks NBC’s 32nd Annual Encore Retreat - a retreat designed for those who are age 55+. Each year our retreat brings with it the anticipation of renewing acquaintances and making new friends. These retreats are designed so that personal refreshment and spiritual renewal are blended with learning and fellowship in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Speaker: Richard Friedt

Richard serves as faculty with Nipawin Bible College. Richard came to NBC after serving as a pastor for eleven years. As a pastor, he recognized the value of Bible College training in preparing young men and women to serve and lead in their local churches, and he is excited to now be teaching in a school that supports and contributes to the Church in this way. He believes that NBC is an exceptional setting for students to grow in their love and knowledge of God as they are equipped and made ready for every good work.

Richard and his wife, Janet, have three grown children and ten grandchildren. They enjoy travelling, the great outdoors, and a good cup of coffee with friends.

Campus Activities

For those interested in handcrafts, we will offer two workshops.

Horseshoe pits, crokinole boards, board games, and bocce balls will be available for those interested in some friendly competition. Feel free to bring your own equipment or games to add to the fun.

Music

Throughout the week retreaters will have an opportunity to worship together in music. Please come prepared to sing together. If you play an instrument, bring it along to bless others through music.

Extra Features

There will be an opportunity to enjoy a relaxing houseboat cruise on the scenic Saskatchewan River, take in a game of mini-golf at the beautiful Regional Park, tour the Town of Nipawin, and more.

Optional Activities
Our campus is just 10 minutes from superb walleye fishing and an excellent 18-hole golf course.

Talent Show

Bring along an instrument, your singing voice, a ventriloquist puppet, or whatever else you need to showcase your talent. Spend some time together sharing the talents God has given you and developed over the years.

"Morning in the Classroom"
