The Potomac Conference will be honoring its pastors and their families with a weekend away to rest, relax and rejuvenate their minds, bodies, and spirits. It will be an atmosphere of peace and fun for all to enjoy! Potomac understands that our pastors have huge responsibilities and they work diligently to fulfill them in service to their members. The conference recognizes that our pastors and workers, in general, are worthy of honor. This is our way to say “thank you.” The gathering will take place at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Resort in Cambridge, Maryland on April 8 -10.
