Philippians 1:3-6 
“I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am certain of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” 

There is a certain feeling you get when you drive back onto T Bar M property. You know the one—a mix of anticipation and remembering. 

There is a certain smile in your heart when you remember an old camp friend. It can take you back in a moment’s time to a season of serving, playing, and growing together. 

There is a certain connection when you see those with whom you have partnered spiritually, no matter how long it has been. 

And there is a certain joy in seeing a gathering of 28 former T Bar M Directors (and their families) happen. 

That joy was bursting at the seams one Saturday in March, as we invited and gathered past directors to simply come and enjoy camp. No doubt, there was an abundance of hugs and high fives, laughter and tears, hours and hours of stories shared alongside some good AO competition … and for sure, some sore muscles the next day. 

And at the end of our day together, there was a certain feeling of deep gratitude as we gathered at Lakeview for worship and remembering. Paul speaks of it in Philippians: “And I am certain of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” As we recalled the good work God has done and continues to do in our lives—in your lives—we were grateful. 

While having a whole crew of past directors gather was so much fun, it will be even more fun with you! 

So, mark YOUR calendar for March 20–22, 2026—a weekend for all alumni to gather and celebrate what God has done in the last 45 years of folks walking through the gates of T Bar M. 

We can’t wait to be with you all and hear how the Lord continues to use you, stretch you, and carry you. There is no doubt that we “thank God every time we remember you.”
