As the year comes to an end, today we pause to remember and celebrate the life of Jean Runk, who passed away on Tuesday, December 29. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Jean faithfully served campers and guests at Greene Hills Camp for more than 20 years, in both housekeeping and the kitchen. She has left behind a rich legacy of hospitality and attention to detail that continues on through the current staff at Greene Hills. "Miss Jean" will be greatly missed by all of us who have been blessed to know her and love her. We are comforted by knowing that she is with her Lord and Savior, hearing the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant. Come now and rest."

Yesterday afternoon we had a great visit with Eric and Steve, who rode 35 miles in the Camp Comeback Holy Bike Ride. They were blessed with excellent weather and had a great ride. If you haven't supported their fundraising effort yet, it's not too late. Go to www.sususumcamps.org, click on the donate tab - Camp Comeback Campaign, and write "Holy Bike Ride" in the comments. Thanks Eric and Steve, for riding to support Camp & Retreat Ministry!!!

Our 20th Making Memories Scrapbook Retreat was a little different from the others, but the ladies who came had a great time. We're thankful for the opportunity to begin hosting some small events again at the Manor.

An amazing opportunity has come to the Camp Comeback Campaign, and we are shifting course so that we can focus in on the finish line of the Campaign. An extremely generous gift of $10,000 has been given by a friend of camp, and if this gift is matched by YOUR collective donations then we will be so close to reaching the Campaign goal!! Jeff, the passionate donor who offers this matching gift, has these words of encouragement for you... I want to do whatever I can to join wi...th other generous donors to support this wonderful ministry. I never had the opportunity to attend camp as a young person, but the stories of how much this ministry helps young people in such powerful ways moved me to learn more and become a donor. High caliber leaders with love and passion like Tom Salsgiver, Anne Horton, and Jeff Fisher inspire a lot of confidence. I fell in love with Mount Asbury. It is dear to my heart and I know others feel the same way about Camp Penn, Greene Hills, Wesley Forest and Sky Lake. God has truly blessed us all with these sacred places. Together we can reach the $100,000 Camp Comeback Campaign Goal. As a way of encouraging other donors, and doubling their impact, it is my joy to make a $10,000 matching challenge gift. Blessings everyone! Between now and the end of October, all donations to the Camp Comeback Campaign will be matched, up to $10,000 - including the ongoing 50 @ $500 event! Donate online today, and be part of the collective community that pushes Camp and Retreat Ministry over the finish line of the $100,000 Camp Comeback Campaign goal!
