There have been a few updates for the second annual Jefferson Davis Conference.
We have added two speakers, Pastor John Weaver, and Rev. George Lacy.
Pastor Weaver plans to present on the following themes:
The Black Robe Regiment, Dark Winter at Valley Forge, Jack Hinson (Confederate Sniper), and more.
Rev. Lacy plans to present on the Christian patriotism of Beverly Tucker Lacy.
Other topics include biblical patriotism, Psalm 78, and a continuation of Lessons from the Life of Robert E. Lee.
Lord willing, the conference will be held at the Machen Retreat Center in McDowell, Virginia, and kick off around 2 pm on Monday, July 4th, and will conclude around 2 pm on Thursday, July 7th.
Possible activities include hiking, camp fire singing, confederate dance, fireworks, and more!
We have firearms instruction from a licensed instructor lined up for both beginners and more advanced users.
For those interested, we will begin cooking and baking beginning Friday, July 1st, and worship will be held at the Machen Center on the 3rd of July.
