Summer Update and Happenings

Posted on by

Being a part of Brandywine Summit Camp Meeting this season has been a joyful experience for many. The Quiet Day lead by Sarah McGovern, with Marie Maharty, RuthAnn James and Judy  Stang as the support  team, provided a breath of fresh air to the many who attended.   Taking time to ” be still” meant a lot as we scattered all over the grounds.  Out of the 19 attending, 5 were new to being on grounds.  All reveled in our “Pocket of Peace”.

Tuesday Women’s Bible Study is studying the book of Ruth.  Although she was a Moabite and not a Hebrew, she is recorded in the line of Jesus and rates a mention in the book of Hebrews.   She made things happen and brought glory to our God.

HOPE will be the name of Jesus we pray this Weds. at 7 P M in the Collins Building.  He is our hope and our glory.  Betty Purchase will be the prayer encourager this week.

Our IGNITE weekend is finally here.  The camp Young Adults have been planning this for almost a year and look forward to all the cottagers helping to host this event.

  • Friday, the 15th at 7 P M we will have folk music with Simon James, in Hilltop Pavilion.  The pool will be open.
  • Saturday, the 16th a Continental Breakfast will be available from 8 – 11  and activities will begin at  9 A M in the area around the Museum. There will be 2 possible times for participation : 9 A M and 10:15 A M.  Nora Nickels, of the Brandywine Conservencey and Longwood Gardens Staff will lead a Nature Walk over the camp.  The bike hikes will be lead by Simon James, Ian James and José Cruz. 
  • Lunch will be  provided by the Auxiliary at the Hilltop Pavilion,  with the making of your own  Walking Tacos.
  • Concerts will begin at 2:30 P M and will include a number of Praise Bands, a Comedian and keep an eye out for a juggler, maybe.
  • 5 P M Supper will be a hot dog roast with all kinds of food brought as covered dishes by the cottagers.  
  • The evening Praise will begin at 7 P M. Come for the joy if it. 
  • Sunday at 11 A M we will Worship in the old open air Tabernacle.  Ezequiel Hernandez will be our Worship leader for the morning. 
  • Take note: the Pool and Corner Store will be open off on during the weekend.

Cottagers are reminded to park near their cottages, because we want to use any available space for parking for others. Keep all Fire Lanes open. 

Special thanks go to all the cottagers who are  making this weekend come alive. 

Try to have lights lit in your cottages even if you can’t be here, as we Walk in the Light.
