That&#8217;s why I love, support, and look for places like <a title=\"A Friend of the King\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oaksmanor.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oaks Manor<\/a> Retreat Center <a title=\"A Friend of the King\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Oaks+Manor+Conference+Center,+Arkansas+282,+Van+Buren,+AR&amp;hl=en&amp;sll=23.554131,-102.6205&amp;sspn=43.536446,68.642578&amp;oq=oaks+ma&amp;hq=Oaks+Manor+Conference+Center,&amp;hnear=Arkansas+282,+Van+Buren,+Crawford,+Arkansas+72956&amp;t=m&amp;z=15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">near Fort Smith.<\/a> It&#8217;s a short drive to the north, and although it&#8217;s close you will feel like you&#8217;re in a remote setting. It&#8217;s designed and provided for people like you to &#8220;come aside, and rest for awhile.&#8221; To seek the Lord in a quiet and undistracted setting.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, June 30th at 6:00 p.m., there&#8217;s an excellent opportunity for you to get better acquainted. Please take advantage of this event to look Oaks Manor over, mingle with some like-minded people, and plan on coming back by yourself or with a few friends.
