Just under 100 men from churches throughout the Synod of the Mid-Atlantic came together the weekend of July 15-17 for the annual Presbyterian Men's conference at Massanetta Springs.  The theme for the conference was "The Greatest of These is Love," 1 Corinthians 13:13.  Conference speakers included Rodney Sadler, Professor of Bible at Union Seminary in Charlotte, who traced the Scriptural basis of love as Christ taught, from the Old Testament all the way through to the Letters of Paul. Bobby Jones, former professional basketball player comment on his sports career and how and understanding of the love of Jesus had played a part in his years on the court.  Singing was lead by Jocelyn Thompson, Memorial Presbyterian Church in Charlotte.  For pictures, click here
