Bob Russell at the Cove

It’s an opportunity to rest, learn and be renewed in a beautiful setting.

Sept. 6-8, retired Southeast Senior Minister Bob Russell will be the featured speaker at The Cove, the Billy Graham conference center in Asheville, N.C.

The property fit Ruth and Billy Graham’s dream of providing a place where people could get away from the demands of daily life, study God’s Word and be trained to reach the lost for Christ.

The conference center is located on 1,200 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains and includes a training center, two inns and the Chatlos Memorial Chapel, which houses the Billy Graham Visitor Center.

“The Cove is a great combination of spiritual renewal and physical relaxation,” said Bob Russell. “There are study sessions in the mornings and evenings with afternoons free to sightsee, play golf or shop.”

Russell will teach about “Transformed by Grace.”  

“We can make the most significant contributions to the kingdom of God in the final quarter of our lives,” Russell said. “But that doesn’t happen automatically. Believers need to prepare with anticipation and wisdom. We all need hope for tomorrow. The goal is long obedience in the same direction. This will be a time to look forward into the future and remember that the best is yet to be.”

Southeast members Cecil and Frieda McGee have visited The Cove at least six times.

“It is a wonderful format of Bible study in a beautiful setting,” Cecil said. “We loved the beauty of The Cove itself, the accommodations and food. And while we were there, we
met people from all over the United States.”
