Campers On Mission Plan Winter Projects
January 2012
After a busy year of service, numerous members of Kansas-Nebraska Campers on Mission will be serving in warmer climates this winter.
The group gathered for a Christmas party on Saturday, Dec. 3, at Central Baptist Church, Winfield, Kan. They celebrated a busy year of service and discussed locations for winter projects, including:
- Texas Baptist Encampment, Palacios, Texas
- Valley Baptist Retreat, Mission, Texas
COM members tackled a variety of projects during a September 2011 work project at Weir Baptist Camp, 12 miles southwest of Pittsburg, Kan. The work project was held in conjunction with the COM fall rally at the camp.
The group installed cabinets in Adam’s Cabin, the new cabin at the camp. COM member Bill Streeter, a retired carpenter, made the cabinets during an earlier work project.
During the September work project, Streeter and Curtis Kirkley made and installed the cabinet doors.
Paul Wade, Deen Satterlee and Gary Shaw installed new chain-link fencing along approximately 500 feet of the camp frontage along Kansas Highway 103.
In addition, two of the COM couples worked at First Baptist Church in nearby Cherokee, Kan.
After serving at Weir Baptist Camp, the group then went to Riverside Baptist Church, Independence, Kan.
