PRAYER MEETING AND BIBLE STUDY IN RECESS
These would be in recess till one week after Easter! The reasons are as follows:
1. To Allow For The Camp Messages To Become Implanted In Our Hearts And Minds
- Let us take time to review the lessons that will be taught at Camp
- Let us take time to reflect on the experiences we will have as we celebrate Easter this year!
2. Too Many Activities Can Dilute The Impact Made On The Heart
Let us treasure all that the Lord has allowed us to learn and experience at the Family Camp and also at Easter!

POETRY CORNER |
THIS IS TODAY
Yesterday ended when the shadow
Caught up each faint trace of its light
And God tenderly covered His children
With the warm cloud soft blanket of night
Tomorrow is yet in the making;
It may be all gloomy or all bright.But this is today - the true treasure
God made just for you and for me;
Then out of it bright dewy freshness -
Let be whatever must be.
God planned it and on past its boundaries
I'm certain we need not see.No man should ever cross over
The threshold of God's tomorrow
Nor yet retrace his own footsteps
Through yesterday's portals to borrow
A quart of even a cupful
Of human joy or sorrow.This is today, the true treasure
God made just for you and for me;
Let be whatever must be.
God planned it and on past is boundaries
I'm certain we need not see.Phyllis C. Michael
