CAMP TAMARACK: A
PLACE APART
I am a firm believer in the
need to find "a place apart" away from the distractions
of everyday life where time can be taken to hear the "still
small voice" of God.
More and more families are
finding Camp Tamarack
as a special place for their reunions. With the improved facilities
and reasonable rates it means a family can gather in the comfort
of a place dedicated to Christ. Activities are available within
a short commute such as golf and a water park if those amenities
are desired.
There is even a time for Pastors
R & R (no cost for pastors) , July 29-31. Or you can reserve
the Hyde Unit (motel room with private bath) in Tamarack Lodge
that is available year around. This can be a great place to
get away and do that Bible study, reading, sermon planning and
spiritual reflection.
Now is a great time to plan
a leaders retreat or couples retreat this fall or winter. Perhaps
you want to hold an all-church gathering. Maybe it's a youth
leadership retreat. The possibilities are endless.
Our summer camping season is
in full swing. The registration numbers are very good for which
we are grateful. Please pray for the children, youth and adults
who are finding "a place apart" at Camp Tamarack this
summer.
Pray for Jane Mathison in her
first season as Director of Camping Ministry, Mark and Deb Lembke
as they continue to serve and for the 2007 summer staff. Pray
for the volunteer leaders who are giving so generously of their
time. Remember the Commission on Camping as they seek to strengthen
this ministry.
And let us all reflect on how
we might use Camp Tamarack as a place apart in the months ahead.
