Smith Mountain Lake
Fall Foilage and a Chance to Get Away

The 2008 SBCV Pastors, Staff, & Wives Retreat is a Friday and Saturday get-away for ordained ministers and their wives at Mariners Landing on Smith Mountain Lake, October 3-4.  Partners in Life... Partners in Ministry is our theme and will be led by Dr. Bill Anderson and his wife, Addie.  Gabe and Kari Turner will lead in praise and worship.  This is not a time for children and families, rather you and your wife alone.

Mariners Landing is not a fancy hotel with a grand lobby, but rather a lake experience with great personal accommodations.  For more information about  Mariners Landing visit their website: www.marinerslanding.com.
