As the new camp president, I just wanted to thank you all for your great work, time and money given this year to support TSFC.

Dear Tri-State Family Campers, August 6, 2010

What an awesome year we’ve had! Granted, that word gets used a lot these days. In this case, however, if we look at its original definition or intention – “to inspire awe or reverence” – it’s true. God surely has had His hand at work in our lives and in our camp during 2010.

As the new camp president, I just wanted to thank you all for your great work, time and money given this year to support TSFC. Without you, we never would have been able to repair the tabernacle, improve the grounds or keep it running for another year.

We all know how important camp is to us and all the wonderful things that happen there. Eddie Phillips did an amazing job presenting what God put in his heart for us to hear. As a result, many lives were forever changed and saved. We also had several people baptized - including teens and children - and many others who recommitted themselves to the Lord. What more could you ask for?

For Camp 2011, Pastor Bryce Grieco, from the Brooke Hills Free Methodist Church in Wellsburg, West Virginia, is going to be our evangelist. He is giving us all a sneak peek into next year during the Tri-State Family Camp Fall Harvest Gathering on Saturday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. Campers are welcome to come and spend the weekend on the grounds. More information can be found on our FACEBOOK page and will be appearing soon at our local churches, so save the date!

Some upcoming improvements we are hoping to accomplish during this year are: repairing additional roofs, upgrading the electrical systems and possibly obtaining city sewage. This will, of course, require us to spend money.

The monetary goal we hoped to achieve this year at camp was $31,000. We ended up raising about $29,000. Thank you very much! This was quite an accomplishment considering how the economic situation is for a lot of people right now. However, God is good and He has proven that He is watching out for us. So, as the year progresses, please don’t forget about the camp. If you are able, possible future donations can be made payable to the Tri-State Free Methodist Camp Association and sent to our camp treasurer, Naomi Cowsert, at 48585 Ford Road, East Liverpool, OH 43920.

God Bless and thank you for your continued support!
