Camp Otterbein would like to give a big thank you to all of our pastors of the week this summer! These wonderful and dedicated pastors are vital to the faith formation of our campers. Pastors of the week find exciting and engaging ways to share God's word with the campers every morning and evening at worship. They spend time getting to know the campers and staff and have great conversations with them about their faith. Pastors of the week also help out around camp by joining in games, watching campers during counselor meetings, and sometimes even jumping in the kitchen to help with dishes!
On behalf of all of the campers and staff, whom you have made a lasting impact on this summer, thank you to:
Jay Moyers - Church of the Good Shepherd UMC - Columbus, Ohio
Joel Harbarger - Monroe UMC - Monroe, Ohio
Doug Thompson - West Mansfield UMC - West Mansfield, Ohio
Dan Fuchs - The Plains UMC - The Plains, Ohio
Angie Sherer - Monfort Heights UMC - Cincinnati, Ohio
If you are a WOC pastor and are interested in being a pastor of the week for Summer 2020, please contact Andrew at atempleman@wocumc.org.

Support Camp Otterbein as we "Deck Out" the front deck of Albright Lodge. The front deck is a vital place in our ministry; every morning it is where our campers do their morning devotions and watch the sun rise. It is used as the central meeting place for everyone at camp; many cabins use the front deck for their small group discussions each day. Virtually everyone who visits Camp Otterbein will spend time on the front deck. This campaign will help us purchase new furniture that everyone can enjoy!
