Men's Retreat
May 3-5, 2025
Unicoi State Park
Our last retreat was May, 2025, on Spiritual Renewal and Christian Fellowship led by The Reverend Dr. Jim Shumard, priest in charge, St. James, Clayton. He lead our discussion titled, “FIFTY SHADES OF LIVING COLOR: Exploring the multi-verse of scripture”.
Typically, the retreats start on Friday at Noon, with optional golf, fishing, hiking, and biking. The formal program begins on Saturday morning. You can easily drive up on Saturday morning from the Atlanta metro – it’s about 1.5 hour drive. The program ends on Sunday morning, with the program wrap-up and a worship service with Holy Communion.
Stay tuned for details about the Spring 2026 retreat!
