2023 ARK Banquet Focus

After renouncing idolatry, you may have also left behind traditions associated with winter. However, just because you are no longer a member of a religious institution does not mean that winter has to be a solitary experience. We will gather together to dine and discuss ways to form new traditions. You will have the opportunity to make new acquaintances, ask questions, and converse about your journey towards a virtuous life.

• Your complementary reservation here helps us to anticipate our complete party size. 

• The group may be divided into smaller dining groups if necessary.

• Depending on restaurant availability and capacity, we may vote as a group on the ideal location.

• You will receive a text message, or email update about our meeting location in Gatlingburg. Attendees will meet and travel to a selected dinner experience.
