2022 DISTRICT CAMP DATES

Camp Emmaus in Mount Morris, Ill., has received a $3,350 grant from the Church of the Brethren Faith in Action Fund toward the expense of replacing the craft building’s roof. The craft building (called the “Craft Cabin”) is used in a variety of ways in addition to housing arts and crafts during the summer camp session: the ends of the building have bunkbeds to house campers, and beneath the building machines are stored and firewood is dried. 

“The various ministries at Camp Emmaus change lives through music, worship, and relationships at family camp, youth camp, and adult week,” a report on the grant said. The Faith in Action grants, funded by the sale of the former New Windsor Conference Center property in Maryland, aid congregations and camps in equipping their facilities and programs for outreach ministries.

Camp Emmanuel (near Astoria, Ill.) held its family camp held during Labor Day weekend, with Michael and Sirina Gilbert serving as co-deans. Canton pastor Kevin Kessler led the Adult Forum at the camp on Saturday, presenting on the subject of theopoetics.
