On Sunday,
August 4, many
of the Brethren
churches from
Northwest Illinois
got together at
Camp Emmaus to
share a time of
worship and fellowship. It was a perfect summer
day as more than 120 people from the Freeport,
Yellow Creek, Dixon, Polo, Mt. Morris, Franklin
Grove, and Cherry Grove congregations lifted their
voices in song and their hearts in prayer. And then
being good Brethren, they joined in that staple of
any good church meeting – the bountiful potluck.
Getting acquainted, renewing old friendships, and
sharing lots of smiles and laughter were also on the
menu. The afternoon was rounded off with
swimming in the brand new camp pool for those
brave enough to jump into the cool waters. Future
events are being planned to continue to strengthen
ties between the Brethren churches in the area as we
strive to serve God –
peacefully, simply,
TOGETHER.
