Dear Camp Family,

Luanne and I greet you in the wonderful name of Jesus. Every day is a new opportunity to live for the King of Kings! We trust your summer plans are developing with family and friends, and encourage your personal growth time to include prayer and Bible study.

As many of you know, I previously cancelled my preaching schedule for this summer because I needed time to recuperate physically from a tough winter. Apparently, I did not take enough hydrocortisone at the time of my back surgery, and it has taken months to begin to feel normal again. Praise God for great doctors and the medication that keeps me alive.

Now, it is time for summer camp meetings. Please cover your camp with prayer and support its workers in every way possible. Every year, it seems there are more enemies of camp meetings, and leaders everywhere need extra prayer support. I am excited that Avon Park Camp people are involved in camp meetings all summer long.

Here at the camp, God is blessing in outside retreats because of our camp staff. I can't say enough praise for Dave and Dolores and Gary and Rosa. When you think of them, thank God for sending them to our camp. They are incredible servants of God.

May the Lord bless each of you and watch over your family. And may you spend time in personal devotion so that you have the eternal resources to help those with special concerns. Luanne and I love each of you and look forward to your return to Avon Park.

Because of Jesus,

-- El and Luanne Kelley

Mark 1:21-22 ...Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching because he taught them as one who had authority....

The Strange Preacher's Kid Jesus taught with authority because He had intimate knowledge of the scripture. He knew the author; He WAS the author! Jesus calls us as ordinary people so He can do extraordinary things through us. In Him, He in us, we too will be like Him, do what He did, and speak as He spoke. -- PAB

This is your opportunity to display your craftiness with your friends. In order to plan our exhibits, please let us know the following:

1. What will you be displaying?
2. How many tables (1 or 2) will you need?
3. Would you want to sell any of your items at that time? (20% of the sale will go to the Auxiliary.)
4. Would you be willing to teach your craft on that day or on a future day?

It was exciting last year to view the work of our talented ladies and men. Let's make it a fun day!
