How do I register?
The easiest way to sign up for our Fall Gathering is to register online. You can also print, complete, and send a registration form to Laurelville Mennonite Church Center either by mail (941 Laurelville Lane, Mount Pleasant, PA 15666) or fax (724.423.2096). You can also call (800.839.1021 or 724.423.2056) to register by phone. Payment in full is required with each registration (your $50 non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is included in the registration cost). Please be sure to indicate any special dietary needs you might have so we can make necessary accommodations.
What if I need to cancel my registration?
Please notify us by phone (800.839.1021 or 724.423.2056) or email (program@laurelville.org) as soon as you know you will be unable to attend so that we can open additional space(s) for other interested participants.
Is it really free?
Yes, registration for Association weekends is free to Laurelville Association members and those considering joining the Association. It's our way of saying thank you for your support, both financially and through prayer and volunteer work. Many attendees typically make a monetary donation during their stay, but you are not required to do so.
If you do wish to support us with a financial gift, you make an online donation or send us a check.
Do I have to volunteer work and attend meetings?
No. There are always volunteer opportunities on Saturday morning and afternoon, and we host our semi-annual business meeting for Association members as well as meetings for Guesthouse and Solarhouse room owners. But all of these activities are voluntary. We want your retreat to be exactly what you came here for.
How do I get to Laurelville?
Laurelville is located 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh in Western Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands, just fifteen minutes from the Pennsylvania Turnpike. For GPS coordinates and driving directions, click here.
We also arrange for transportation for guests who are arriving by plane ($50 each way to/from Pittsburgh International Airport) or train ($25 each way to/from Greensburg/Connellsville Amtrak stations). If you are planning to travel by plane or rail, please notify us at least one week in advance with your travel plans so we can arrange transportation for you.
Some guests seek to carpool with others traveling to Laurelville. While we cannot coordinate these efforts or give out contact information for other guests, we recommend you post your query on the event page on Facebook.
What are the lodging accommodations like?
