Beachie Creek Fire Update
On Thursday, October 1, 2020, we were able to visit the camp for the first time since the September fire tornado whipped through the entire canyon. As we walked the grounds with the insurance adjuster, we knew that rebuilding was going to be a journey. Plans are underway now to assess and repair infrastructure necessary to have camp next summer.
We are not be rebuilding alone, but with an amazing community of friends, and family that have for at least some length of time weathered the last forty-two years alongside us. Celebrating glorious joy and finding strength together in the challenges is the substance of life. To be confident that we are all undeniably purposed is the root of our faith that God has a plan for our future. He will bring glory to Himself, specializing in creating beauty from ashes.
Harvest Camp will be held October 30-November 2 at the Aldersgate Conference Center in Turner.
Christmas Camp will also be held at Aldersgate December 23-26. Reservations should be made early.
Many thanks to Aldersgate for partnering with us to continue the opportunities promised campers as an escape and comfort to a very challenging year.
Your prayers, memories, and gifts are very appreciated.
