The Universal Community of Metropolitan Churches

One month ago, our retreat center hosted The Universal Community of Metropolitan Churches. The retreat served as a gathering place for the group's "Readiness to Enter Vocational Ministry" program. These guests were simply a joy to have, and we recently received an encouraging letter from one of them complimenting our food staff and their ability to accomodate a gluten allergy:

"Most importantly for me, your Chef and his staff made me fee like the most important person in the world! I have seldom experienced such a perfect blend of professionalism, expertise, and friendliness. You see, I had made them aware of my allergy to gluten, and they went to great lengths to make sure I had very tasty, healthy, and creative things to eat during our entire stay....Please believe me when I say that it meant the world to me. There are very few places where people take the allergy seriously, and when they do, they sometimes make you feel a little foolish for having to ask for gluten-free food. However, that was definitely not the case last week....ALL the food was delicious, as was its presentation! Everything they did was exceptional."

We at the Retreat at Balcones Springs thank The Universal Community of Metropolitan Churches for such kind words, and we are so glad to have been your hosts for a weekend!
