Summer family retreat! August 17-20th, 2025, Gatlinburg, TN

[nathan]

I just realized we only had the "when should we do this" discussion. So here's the real retreat thread. Details went out by email this afternoon, so if you want them, and don't have them, drop a note to @julieb, or email retreats@biblicalfamilies.org.
We have a great location, and can't wait to see many of you again, and a bunch of new folks. It's Sunday to Wed morning this year, so get all your crops in good shape for a few days, or get your time off from work, or else just tell your boss this.

Let people know you are coming here!

Just to clarify, we are coming God willing.

We will all be there, looking forward to the fellowship.

The best way to fellowship is to be there. Would not want to miss the opportunity to edify one another.

There’s some pretty good stuff in there.
Too often people worship worship.

Hey retreat-ers! (Eh, that doesn't work.) We have some last minute signups, and our meeting and dining rooms are going to be pretty full, but we still have 4-5 guest rooms left. We'd love to have you join us! If you are new, we know you are nervous - reach out and ask any questions, you won't regret making the effort - this is a special time, regardless of your family situation. Your kids will have a blast at this location too. (Don't forget swimsuits at least for the kids!)

Thank you to all who made the time and effort to attend this year's Summer Retreat in TN! It was short but sweet. Thank you to all who helped in the kitchen and with the children. You are much appreciated!!

I think we all left with something new to ponder in our walk with God, which is always a good thing.

I look forward to seeing new YouTube videos.

Here was the view from the front porch where the men smoked their cigars and solved the world’s problems.

This retreat was special and perfect! Special because the people that came were loving, welcoming, concerned, open to each other, and willing to share from the heart. Perfect because the Holy Spirit moved in the women's group and during worship. All ages were there and the kids had a lot of fun while the adults were in sessions. Thank you to Julie B. and Nita for the meals. Great job! Can't wait until the next retreat!
