The Iron Horse Inn B&B is a great place to hold your church retreat, particularly now that we're close to opening our new Retreat Center. The Inn offers up to 10 bedrooms and suites, in a very peaceful, quiet setting on over one acre of gardens, ancient oaks and old pecan trees - the perfect setting for contemplation, prayer, study or discussion. Besides the retreat center itself, which has two rooms, the inn has two living room/parlors and the dining room, all of which can be reserved for your retreat.
And I would like to make a personal pitch to church folks to schedule their retreat here, because of a long-standing interest of mine. I've mentioned elsewhere on this site that I just recently retired from the U.S. Foreign Service (of the State Department). In that capacity, my two favorite postings were in Washington, where I served as deputy director of the U.S. Office of International Religious Freedom (part of the State Department), and at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, where I was religious freedom/human rights officer. In both positions, I helped to promote religious freedom as official U.S. foreign policy, and I still maintain an active interest in religious freedom around the world. So, if your church group shares an interest in this subject, I'd love to speak with you all on the subject, either informally over breakfast, or even as a more formal lecture.
In any case, feel free to give us a call to discuss arrangements to host your church group or retreat! Theresa and I will work hard as your hosts to provide just the right setting to help make yours a rewarding retreat that all will remember.
