What mental pictures do the words CONSTRUCTION AREA bring to mind? New power tools? How about another 25 miles of two-lane construction zone on I-80? That brand-new house you've saved for? How about re-roofing your old house (lots of fun in August)? Ahh, the smell of sawdust...the sounds of the circular saw and hammer...the tape measures, levels, toolbelts and another-trip-to-the-store-'cause-you're-out-of-nails (again). Whether you love the word construction, or hate it, it's all around us. And here's another example - take a look in the mirror. Know what you're looking at? A construction project! The Master Builder started a job with you and it's His desire to complete it. Take another look in that mirror - see any recent progress? Are you getting an understanding of what the finished product will look like? You're invited to examine some of His blueprints and specs at the 7th Annual Conference. Relax, have some fun, hang out with other officers and learn a couple of things from the One who wrote "the Book" on construction!

DIRECTIONS
TO THE CAMP
Hidden
Acres Christian Center is located approximately half way between Boone
and Ft. Dodge, Iowa. Look at a map and find the intersection of I-80
and Highway 169 just west of Des Moines. From I-80, follow Hwy. 169
north to its intersection with Hwy 30. The town of Ogden is located
at Hwys. 169 and 30. Proceed north from that intersection through
Ogden - as you leavbe town heading north, the street you're on turns into
County Road P70. Approximately 14 miles north of Ogden you'll see
a sign for "Hidden Acres" directing you east on a gravel road. Go
1 mile east and then a half mile north (just follow the signs).
