This Saturday, the 20th, there are two projects going on at Camp Hope where some help will be needed.

1) The duct work for the heating/AC will be delivered and run in the auditorium part of the building.

2) Bro. Bryant Harris has ordered the sheetrock and it will be delivered.   Help will be needed to unload it and if there is enough help, we might be able to put some of it up.  If you have some men in your church who might be able to come, even for a couple of hours, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Please contact Ivan Ryan with any questions.

Thanks.

The purpose of this camp is to Glorify Jesus Christ… By Teaching fundamental truths of God’s Word and Christian principles, By providing healthful recreation under a Christian influence, By cultivating a greater appreciation of outdoor life, and By promoting a growing fellowship among Free Will Baptists in the state of Illinois.

The program at Camp Hope is Christ-centered, Bible-based, and evangelistic. Bible Study, Christian living, music, missions, and crafts are included in the curriculum. Daily recreational activities may include basketball, volleyball and other games in the gym, swimming in the camp’s pool and softball or baseball on one of the camp’s Fields. Chapel services each morning and an evening service of worship and preaching make up the major emphasis of seeking God’s will for our lives and knowing Him better.
