Celebrate God's Spring Holy Time with Us


Site Summary

 

For years now, Marlene and I have observed the Days of Unleavened Bread for the full week (between the First Day and the Last Day of UB). We try to encourage others to do so as well by providing free housing at the Christmas Mountain Resort in Wisconsin Dells (this year by arriving Monday, April 14th and leaving on Friday, April 18th). The address is S944 Christmas Mountain Road, Wisconsin Dells, WI 53965.

Our attendees usually observe Passover, NTBR and the First Day of UB at their home areas, then head to WI Dells the day after. People start gathering between 1:00-3:00 at Mulligans, the restaurant on-site. Townhomes are assigned to everyone from about 3-4:00 PM. And, then we hand out the keys to the Townhomes around 4:00 (check-in time at the Resort). People just hang out and enjoy one another (and the snacks).
 

Accommodations


Each year we rent ten 3-Bedroom Townhomes. They consist of one 1 Bdrm/1 Bath (4-people) and one 2 Bdrm/2Bath (6-people) per unit. The Townhomes all have full kitchens. They have a lockout door between them. Depending on how people want to share, we could house up to 100 people. But, that means sleeping two on the sofa sleeper. They recommend that for children! But some younger folks are tough enough to take on the couch!
 

A Typical Day

 
  • Begin the day with cooking your own breakfast in your unit. There's a full kitchen in each one and two bedroom unit.
  • Songs, Interactive Studies, and Prayers begin at 10:00 at Jollies, basement of Mulligan's.
  • Noon -  Soup and Salad Lunch is served each day at Jollies. Your free-will donation pays for everything. God always provides!
  • Afternoons we have Interactive Studies in the Townhomes - volunteer basis!
  • Some enjoy the pool or hot tub outside.
  • Evening meals are in the Townhomes. People gather together and enjoy sharing stories...getting to know each other.
    • At least one night we have a Progressive Dinner. That means four volunteers who offer their Townhome for use in one of four courses of the dinner: (1) Hors d'oeuvres and drinks; (2) Salads; (3) Main Course; (4) Desserts. People "progress" from one Townhome to another! The dessert Townhome is usually a big hit!

Checkout on Friday is at 10:00 AM. We gather together as usual in Jollies and hand in your keys to me. We do a Study as usual and then people head home to observe the Last Day of UB with their home congregations. Some have farther to travel and may leave right away, while others linger...attending the morning Study and having lunch in the Mulligan restaurant. There will be some tear down of equipment and other things to do. If you want, you can do as we will...which is to go to Hal and Scarlet Geiger's home, stay overnight and observe the Last Day of UB with them! They have some places to sleep at their place, but others stay nearby (15-minute drive) in hotels at Johnson Creek or Oconomowoc, WI.
