Well, summer is almost over but you wouldn’t believe it by the temperatures we have still been having!!
We have had a pretty good August and September here, but naturally it could always be better. August saw us have 7 family reunions, a youth retreat from Fletcher Memorial, a Boy Scout campout, 2 church picnics, a wedding, GBC Disaster Relief Training group, 2 SEB High School cross country meets, and Willingway for their monthly Sunday event. September brought us 1 family reunion(1 other was canceled because of hurricane Dorian), a baptism in the swimming pond, a church picnic, Trail Life Summer Adventures training, a weekend youth retreat, and the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority from GSU weekend new member (94 members) retreat.
We still have projects on our “Wish” list, so if any of your churches are looking for projects, please call me (912-531-2946).
Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we still need ALL of our churches to support us financially here at the Mann Center.
GOD bless you all.

Nestled in the woods on the outskirts of Brooklet, Georgia on approximately 75 acres, you will find the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. As a ministry of the Ogeechee River Baptist Association, the Mann Center provides a serene, isolated and worshipful atmosphere for all that come. Whether you just want to get away for a day picnic, a weekend getaway, or a longer stay, the Mann Center is the place for you.
The Mann Center has overnight cabins that sleep up to 25 people, a small dining hall/meeting room that will accommodate approximately 60 guests, a larger dining hall/meeting room that will seat approximately 170 people, a chapel that can hold approximately 100 worshipers, a lodge with private rooms, a gazebo, and an amphitheater.
The Mann Center also has 2 fishing ponds (no fishing license required), a creek for fishing, and a swimming pond. Other recreational options include: a full size basketball court, regulation volleyball court, horse shoe pits, an athletic field, and a large playground.
We like to think that the Mann Center is a “little piece of heaven” where folks can get away from the “hustle and bustle” of everyday life and relax, meditate, pray, or just “recoup” from the stress and strain of our fast-paced society.
The Mann Center rents our facilities to church groups, school groups, private citizens, and others as long as they adhere to our policy of letting your actions glorify God.
We hope all who seek a place for their activities would consider choosing the W. W. Mann Retreat and Conference Center. Contact us at: 912-842-2460, 912-531-2946 or bradwellalum69@yahoo.com .
