Dates to remember and Camp Hope

We had another great night tonight at Camp Hope, in spite of the good soaking we got (and, boy, did we ever get one). Thanks go to Butch Jordan and Gloria Gillis for preparing the dinner and helping with the clean up! Come join us next week for more of the same.

Here are two dates for you all to remember (well, perhaps only one to remember; I'll let you guess which is which):

1. Today in 1620 the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England, bound for the new world! And the rest truly is history.

2. Totally unrelated to that, on September 23, we will be having an open house/cookout at Camp Hope with several special guests. Among these guests, we hope to have a couple of representatives from Heritage Presbytery (the churches who helped us establish and operate Camp Hope over the last year) and Dr. Jim Bland, the Coordinator for Mission to North America (MNA), which was responsible for heading up the disaster relief efforts here on the Coast immediately after the hurricane and for establishing the disaster relief fund that we have all benefited from. You will be hearing more about this very soon.
