The Outdoor Recreational Ministry of the Maritime
Conference Christian Life & Growth Committee invite your congregation to
help with our “More Voices for Camp” Project.
We are inviting every pastoral charge to donate one copy
of More Voices, either new or used, or the purchase price ($18) to our
camps.
If this was done then it would allow for 30 or more
copies in each camp. At Camp STUFF (a staff training weekend) in June we will be
offering a workshop on music leadership and learning the songs. We will
also dedicate the books and distribute them to the camps.
Feel free to write a greeting inside the cover and
imagine the children and youth of our camps singing praise at
Vespers!

Lenten Study--in the Easter Season??
Remember the Lenten Study book some of us ordered back in early February? Our Lenten Study books have finally arrived! Too late for Lent--but what about studying A Song of Faith together during the season of Easter? My proposal is to pick up our books and begin reading on the Wednesday following Easter (normally we would have begun reading on Ash Wednesday) and gather together for group study on Sunday evenings throughout the Season of Easter, finishing our reading and study on Sunday, May 27th.
We have 2 extra copies of "Singing a Song of Faith" in the church office--speak to Nan if you would like a copy (cost $12.00) so you can join us for this Lenten Study--in the Easter Season!
