Workday at Camp

For the last couple of years several of the leadership folks who are part of Lebanon's two Sailing Camp Sessions have taken to doing projects when they weren't busy leading campers. This year they chose to both fund and undertake the task of repairing some of the permanent picnic tables in Lebanon's picnic area. After repairing a few of the tables, they decided that they wanted to do repair more tables than they had budgeted for. The Sailing Camp leaders began to send several emails to the Sailing Camp team and the CCR Committee. The messages gauged their interest in the project. The response was terrific – donations were collected, a date was selected for a crew to come work, and food was prepared to feed hungry workers. I even sneaked in a short business meeting into the agenda for their day!

As you can see in the photo the day was not all sunshine and roses. Work began in the rain! Tents were set up over the work areas and used until the rain moved out. Chili, pulled pork sandwiches, chips, fruit and much more made up lunch for the entire group. The workers were able to sit at the first table completed for the day and after the meal, perhaps the shortest CCR meeting ever was held. three tables were completely renovated, with six more having at least the benches replaced.

Chili, pulled pork sandwiches, chips, fruit made up lunch for the entire group. The workers were able to sit at the first table they completed, a great reward for all their hard work. After the meal we held what may go down as the shortest CCR meeting in history. By the end of the day three tables were completely renovated, and six more had had at least the benches replaced.

Camp Lebanon's CCR Committee has always been filled with folks that care for the ministry and share their gifts and talents continually. Many thanks go out to the entire Committee for their continued support and care of Camp Lebanon.
