Steven Smith, Pastor of United Disciples of Christ Church in Charleston, will serve as Facilitator of the annual WV Disciples Men’s Retreat at Cedar Lakes Conference Center near Ripley, WV.

Registration fees are waived for all men age 30 and under. Lodging and meal rates will be the same as 2007 (a rarity in most of our lives), and there will be others from your area attending, so even carpooling will be possible.
