The 2019 CCA Annual Convention is coming! This year we are meeting in the Great Smoky Mountains of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, highly anticipating the fresh, fall, mountain air, as we partake in the local sights and experiences Pigeon Forge has to offer! We will be engaging with new friends, along with catching up with our old friends as we fellowship. Pastor Ken Yates will be returning to share Biblical truth with us. Some may remember Ken as our Bible speaker last fall in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. One of our members, Tom Necela, will be joining us and holding a round-table talk and discussion to share about practice transitions, associateship buy-in and buy-outs. Tom will also be our Banquet Speaker sharing his Christ-centered insights as we head back to our practices. We have scheduled for our Thursday group excursion a bus tour of the Great Smoky Mountains with stops at the Sugerlands Visitor Center, Clingmans Dome and Newfound Gap. After an afternoon of sightseeing we’ll return to the hotel to head to Mama’s Farmhouse for a family style meal of southern home cook’in! Hotel accommodations will be at the Country Cascades Resort and Water Park, located just off the main road in Pigeon Forge, convenient to a great variety of restaurants and attractions. Gatlinburg is just down the road with even more things to do! You can either stay in the hotel to have fun in their water park, or if you are slightly more adventurous, you can check out Dollywood, the riverwalk trail, the Titanic Museum Attraction, and more. Please mark your calendar now and join us for fun, fellowship, and growth this coming Oct-

ober. Registration information wwill be mailed in early July! Friday evening the CCA Auxiliary brings us a special treat. Jimbo Whaley presents music with a local flavor. Jimbo grew up in Pigeon Forge with music always being a part of his life. Jimbo and his bandmates of “Greenbrier” deliver a high energy performance each time they take the stage. Their ability to perform traditional standard bluegrass, mixed with incredible original works and then covering pop songs from any era makes them a band that can please every listener. This will be an especially fun evening of music!
