A Perfect Fit for Senior Church Retreats and Faith-Based Travel
We’ve welcomed people of all ages and walks of life, but there’s something especially beautiful about hosting senior church groups and fellowship circles.

It’s ideal for groups looking for:
- A relaxing, meaningful activity between stops

And yes, you’ll go home with warm bread and a warm memory to match.
What to Expect in Our Bread Baking Class
When your group visits Sherwood Coffee 'n' Bread, you’ll:
- Make real bread by hand using traditional techniques
- Bake in a beautiful wood-fired oven in our peaceful outdoor kitchen
- Share fresh bread together, warm from the fire
- Learn the heart behind the process and why bread matters
You don’t need any experience to participate. We’ll guide your group through each step.
It’s perfect for senior retreats, women’s ministries, couples’ groups, and more.
Small Groups, Big Memories
Our baking classes are designed for small groups (5–16 people) so everyone feels included and hands-on.
The experience is outdoors, surrounded by trees and open skies, where conversation flows easily and simple moments feel special.
It’s not just about learning a new skill. It’s about slowing down, sharing a table, and doing something meaningful together.
The Deeper Connection: Bread and Faith
Bread plays a central role in many spiritual traditions.
In scripture, in communion, and in daily life, bread is a symbol of connection, community, and care.
At Sherwood Coffee 'n' Bread, we embrace that spirit, welcoming groups who want to experience more than just a class, but a moment of hospitality, fellowship, and joy.
