Camp Canceled - Prayer Request
Camp has long been the highlight of summer for many. This congregation has always supported camping ministry, even when there have not been many kids to go. This summer, we hoped that camp would be a break from monotony. Plans were in place to hold camp safely, but with more and more cases of COVID it became clear that the risk was growing. Camp Chrysalis and Ebert Ranch had three great weeks of camp, but have made the wise and safe call to close for the remainder of summer. Pastor Tim, the Bauerkemper Boys, and Michael Linde were to have gone this week but it is not going to be. Kids from all over our synod are disappointed.
We ask your prayers as Cross Trails winds down in a way no one had hoped. We give thanks that the weeks we did have were healthy, and that the safer choice was made as it became more worrisome. Particularly pray for those staff who were in their last years of being part of camp, and like so many others who were graduating or finishing a career in teaching, have ended their time with this ministry in a way they had not wished.
