Staff Retreat


MAY 14 - 17, 2023

I've been looking forward to this for quite a while.

SIMPLE CHURCH


The Retreat Begins at Loco Burro


We'll meet up at the restaurant for dinner. Parking is tricky, and you might want to arrive early to get a space. You might have to walk!

Great Smokeys


I absolutely love the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I get there whenever I can. While on our retreat, some of our activity will be in the park. We'll cruise through Cades Cove, Summit at Clingman's Dome, or hike to Laurel Falls. We may even see elk and bear!

Pigeon Forge


I don't get to this town much.. It is really crowded. BUT, when we do go there, Sherry and I love to hit The Island and Guy Fieri's Flavortown. IF we can work it out, we'll try to spend a little time at one of these. (we stayed at the Margaritaville hotel at The Island a couple of years ago! Nice!)
