A well used camp

Within the past week there have been four different events taking place at Maywood. Last Saturday was the final day of a missions retreat that had over one hundred people attending, mostly older people who have spent their lives serving the Lord in places other than their homes. Mission workers from Texas to North Carolina to Florida and everywhere in between were here. On the heels of that event was a group of teen boys and adults from the West Main congregation in Tupelo who spent two days helping us work on the camp, getting it ready for the summer. That ended Saturday afternoon. Sunday afternoon showed us hosting the Hamilton church of Christ for their Spring picnic and afternoon worship service, and then today there where over 200 K-6th grade kids here for the annual Maddness in May. At the same time was our annual bake sale in town last weekend (Thanks Martha, Sarah and Joan) and another group of men from Tupelo and Pontotoc, MS who came to work on the putt-putt golf course this weekend. What a busy week, but how good is was to see the camp used to it's fullest. Only three weeks until the first week of summer camp, it won't be long now.

Only four weeks to go!!!!!

OK, I know I said that I would post something about Maywood every few weeks. I didn't mean for it to be two months but it has, sorry. Things are so busy right know here at the camp that it is unbelievable. As I write this, there are about 90 missionaries and their supporters at the camp for a retreat, the annual MayDay bake sale is tomorrow, the "pool man" finished the work on our swimming pool on Monday and we are in the final stages of finishing up the work on the boy's cabin. Only four weeks from this Sunday will begin the 44th year of camping here at Maywood Christian Camp. It's hard to belive that I was here for the 9th year when I was 8 years old, doesn't seem possible. So many things have changed yet so much remains the same. Buildings and "stuff" change but the things that remain the same are the things that Bro. Moore, Bro. Jerry, and Bro. Bruce built our little camp upon. I hope you love this place as much as I.
