Trip to Gatlinburg, TN 2008

by Ron

The Prime Timers group has just returned from Gatlinburg, TN on Thursday evening, October 30th. We arrived on Monday, October 27th in Gatlinburg only to find that it would snow that evening and created record breaking tempertures for this time of the year. Everyone appeared to have a good time as we were in conference with Dr. David Jermiah four days in a row. He was preaching on his new book, “What in the world is going on”, it was an intereting time. We were entertained by “The Webb Family”, Mark Lowry and Dennis Swanberg. We took the bus over to Pigeon Forge on Wednesday on our free time and ate at “Mel’s Diner” then we dropped off those that wanted to go shopping at the Tanger Outlet and took the rest of the bus over to the “Knife Store”. That evening, George Beverly Shay, who is 99 and will be 100 in February, sang 4 songs and was inerviewed on stage by Phil Waldrop. Will Graham the grandson of Billy Graham and son of Franklin Graham preached after that. All in all it was an intereting conference with over 5000 plus senior (over 50) christians in attendance.

Here are my pictures. Please send yours (in digital format) to John Ward (jward@coosaw.org) so he can post them on the website.
