The winter winds are blowing from the north making the ground hard as concrete and bringing with them those very cold temps that I used to love but now dread. At this writing (January 3) the high should only be in the low 30s.
A few Sundays ago I had an experience everyone has had at sometime. A beam of light came through a window and caught on a piece of jewelry and the refracted light danced along the wall of the sanctuary in spots of glowing light. The dazzling interludes in life are wonderful “God moments,” shiny spots of “Son shine,” drawing our attention God-ward to His peace and glory. You are invited to such a sparkling time at Cragmont this summer, July 5–9.
You, no doubt, remember the popular slogan of a few years ago, “What Would Jesus Do?” I thought it was one of the best catchphrases of all time. Yet it is not used much any more.
Cragmont should be viewed as another tool the local church can use in the ministry to the congregation it serves. The purpose of the Church and Cragmont is to present the Gospel, teach Scripture, and promote fellowship. Through a week of camp this purpose can be realized and can be an experience that most young people will want year after year. So it is that time of the year for parents and youth leaders to talk with their youth about what sort of camp or retreat they will attend this summer.

This year Dr. De W. Eakes will lead the retreat. In our denomination we place great weight on being “servants” as is evident by the importance we place on “The Washing of the Saints’ Feet.” This ordinance is our denominational symbol for servanthood.
