Next year we are most likely going some place new for our annual church camping trip–Cran-hill Ranch! Cran-Hill is located 1 hour north of Grand Rapids (14444 17 Mile Road Rodney, MI 49342) and is going to be a fun new experience for us as a church. They have horses, a rock climbing wall, lake activities, and more (some have an additional cost which we will communicate in advance)! Also, we could potentially have our own area of the campground reserved and our own cabin, kitchen, and meeting room.
Check out their summer camp promo to get a glimpse of many of the activities we will have access to!
Special Guest Speaker!
Our beloved Darlene Burger, long-time friend of Pastor Cameron and of New Day, will be sharing with us on Sunday, August 28th. She leads the World Evangelistic Crusade, which leads missions work in many areas including Haiti and the Dominican Republic. New Day’s Children’s Ministry and Youth Group are sponsoring orphans through this ministry.
Party for the Kids!
Thanks to all the kids, parents, and other generous contributors we have had an overwhelming response to our race to collect money for our Haitian orphan—over $100 was contributed in July alone! As a result, BOTH classes are invited to enjoy a party Sunday, August 28th during intersection.
