We made it!

Greetings from Camp Shetek! The Lord has been gracious to us. We arrived safely and there was not hint of rain. The forecast predicts this will not last, but we are being bold with our prayers.

We are well fed and now worshiping the Lord in our evening chapel session. Look for our prayer guide and other items throughout the week.

Homeward Bound Today!

We are planning to get back from Camp Shetek no later than 5:30 PM tomorrow to the downtown campus. We will call Bethlehem's church office with updates if this estimate changes significantly. You may call our receptionist at 612-338-7653 until 5 PM to find out if plans have changed. An update would not be forthcoming any sooner than 2 PM.

Our plan is to pull up, off load campers and luggage immediately and then let the buses leave. We would be well served if parents were able to arrive by the time we did to greet their children and stow away their luggage in personal vehicles.

Upon finishing with luggage, you are invited to enter the main hall and dish up some picnic style food (hamburgers with fixings, chips, cole slaw, lemonade/milk/water, and eat with us.

Once we finish dinner, we'll gather in the sanctuary to worship, introduce and thank our staff, hear testimonies from a few campers, evidences of grace from Pastor Bud Burk, receive a closing word from our camp speaker, Marshall Segal, and watch the camp highlight video.

I hope you can stay and enjoy this great homecoming family reunion event!

God is at Work and We are Blessed beyond Words!

Evidence of God's work this week literally poured out through tears, hugs, prayers, and testimonies around cabin group camp fires. There are too many good stories to tell here so I'll let Bud do his best tomorrow night. But know God has been at work. Yet, in many ways God has merely began or continued the work he was already doing. There is more in store, as always.

May God use you parents, peers, and other partners in the gospel work to continue to awaken faith and sanctify souls in our midst!

Marshall's Thursday Night Session Talk

Here's Marshall's fifth talk. He spoke to your youth about Living Together to Proclaim the Gospel. It's about believers as a people who exist to glorify God by proclaiming his gospel to each other and to those who do not yet believe it. Select the link below and have a listen...
