Pictures are worth thousands of words...













Around 130 people from across the United States gathered together on top of the 35 acre summit of Aspen Ridge to celebrate God's faithfulness and the generosity of God's people. A wonderful bar-b-que lunch of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs complete with all the trimmings were provided to all the guests compliments of the Potter's Inn.

Images of a Day of Dedication



Steve and Gwen cast the vision of how Potter's Inn at Aspen Ridge will become an important "tool" for ministry in the larger vision of creating a "place" where people can come for retreats, soul care and vacations to rest and restore their hearts for the next part of the journey!

The Fire Ring near the Summit hosts 12 chairs made in Michigan from one of Potter's Inn ministry partners! From here and at night, the stars have never looked so big and clear. It seems you can almost see forever...

The Sights and Thrill of the Dedication Day


A wonderful day was enjoyed by many people who traveled to Aspen Ridge to share the joy of the dedication of the retreat. We hope these images will allow the many friends of Potter's Inn across the world to enjoy "from a distance" the joy of this great day!

Friends came from North Carolina to California all converging on the top of the mountains where we gathered to sing songs of praise and pray our prayers of dedication-- offering the entire ranch to God as a place of soul care and transformation for pilgrims on the journey.

With the completion of the Prayer Trail, the retreat now offers 1 day personal and self-guided retreats where people can use the newly finished "Loft" in the barn which is complete with a kitchen, bathroom and meeting rooms. An outside deck with a rocker swing makes the perfect place to spend a day alone or with a friend.
