The unseasonably rainy weather and 5.5 inches of hail failed to dampen the spirits of those who attended the Rocky Mountain Prime Time Retreat in Colorado Springs May 5 to 8.

Attendees representing 21 different states enjoyed the music of Brian Arner, a full-time music evangelist. Arner's daily goal is to encourage others through music to make Jesus Christ the center of their lives, and more than once he succeeded in bringing people to their feet.

The event also featured General Superintendent Emeritus James H. Diehl, General Superintendent David W. Graves, Nazarene Bible College President Harold Graves, and USA/Canada Regional Director Bob Broadbooks as plenary speakers. In addition, Harold Ivan Smith presented two mega-seminars on the topics of grief and leaving a legacy. Seminar presenters included Global Sunday School and Discipleship Ministries International Director Woodie Stevens, USA/Canada Region Prime Time Coordinator William Marshall Duke, Nazarene Foundation Executive Vice President Mark Lail, Pensions & Benefits Director Don Walter, and RVs on a Mission representatives Duane and Jean Morford.

John Cunningham, a global missionary with the Church of the Nazarene on administrative assignment to JESUS Film Harvest Partners, presented a workshop about deciding your spiritual legacy. During one plenary session, an offering of more than $3,100 was received for JESUS Film Harvest Partners. Based on the average of $3 per person reached through the JESUS film, at least 1,000 people will be reached through this offering.

Thursday evening, Prime Timers attended chapel on the Nazarene Bible College campus. Some also toured the campus prior to the service.
