- **Event Name**: Orders and Fellowship Clergy Retreat
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am
- **Event Description**: Orders and Fellowship 2026
We’re making a change to our spring gathering of clergy.  Formerly, this was called the Elder &amp; Deacon retreat.  We’re now including the Fellowship of Local Pastors in that gathering and will be calling it Orders &amp; Fellowship.  We’ll gather at Lakeview on March 2-4, with time set aside for each group to conduct their business, but we benefit from learning and worshipping together as the clergy of the TAC.  Our speakers this year will be Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers for the topic "Leading with Nuance, Grace and Courage."  Sarah and Beth are the hosts of the Pantsuit Politics podcast where they share how to disagree with grace. Both women are active in their local churches and engaged in the life of the church in the public square.

The schedule below details our activities, but following the conclusion on Tuesday, you are welcome to stay with us at the camp for an additional night for both fellowship and recuperation before returning to your churches Wednesday morning. 

We hope you are able to join us this March!
