Camp Meeting: You need to be here next year!
Camp Meeting this year for me was way different than past years. This year I spent the week in a motel room instead of camping out in a tent. Even though I love camping [except when it rains] I enjoyed being with my son Mike, daughter-in-law Faith and granddaughter Ella. It was fun watching Ella play musical beds with her parents!
Most of all I enjoyed the morning Bible studies with Dr. Tom McCall and Rob Lewis. I learned so much from their heads full of knowledge on atheism and stories about families in the Bible whom we hear so little about. The fellowship with other Christians was so uplifting.
Watching the City Team children’s eyes light up at meals or at the gazebo was so amazing. It was a relaxing, laid back week but one of such blessing for me to be with my family. Sitting on the bridge having my devotions and praying to start the day praising God for what He has done and is going to do through the Holy Ground of Delanco Camp– Praise God! You need to be here next year!!

Camp Meeting 2011 in Photos
Yesterday morning we all said sayonara to Delanco and headed for home. I just wanted to share with you some of the pictures I took all week. In one particular picture it displays how we campers gave the kitchen staff a run for their money. One particular staffer decided to take a nap in a very impractical place in the kitchen. Can you spot which staffer I mean?
Coffeehouse Last Night, Another Tomorrow
Last night all the campers and staff attended a coffeehouse held in the Retreat Center. Ryan Cheeseman; Lance Bird and Chuck Thornley were the musicians for the night, while the Carrie Caufield sold refreshments for a dollar each. One of the staff members took the CityTeam kids and the other younger campers on a hayride, which the kids all really enjoyed.
Tomorrow there will be another coffee house featuring the musical talents of John Dutton, James Hughes and Michael Fredericks beginning at 9:30 p.m. in the Retreat Center. Admission, snacks and refreshments are free; so if you are going to be at the evening service and want to join in on the fun afterwards you are welcome to.
