What an exciting last week, as several of us attended the Senior Retreat at Camp Zephyr, on Lake Corpus Christi. On Monday, at noon, Tommy & Brenda Smith and I and Mary Nell McGee and Alice Pittman departed for a fantastic three days at Camp Zephyr. We were treated with great Bible Study each day, led by Dr. Jimmy Arnold, Pastor of Woodsboro First Baptist. Bro. Yarbrough gave the Devotions each day and Marcos and Sue Gohlke sang and led the great Gospel Music. The Sermon each evening was given by Bro. Walter Jackson, Executive Director of Missions for Guadalupe Association and each of his messages touched our hearts.
The weather was not the best, but the fellowship was past the best! The three meals each day were super and the snacks, between meals were out-of- this-world!
The “Camp Auction” was a great “crowd pleaser”. Retreat attendees brought various items, which were auctioned off. Books, tools, clothing, crosses, paintings, cakes, and peanut brittle are just a few items that were sold with all proceeds going to the Camp. The Auction raised almost $6,000 for the Camp! The Camp Motel Rooms have been completely remodeled and they are beautiful.
