Holmes Farm Stand to Open!
The Holmes Farm Stand will be open - Saturday, August 22 from 10am to 2pm at the Farm on Denton Lake Road. Our first batch of fresh organic cucumbers is ready to go. If you are local, stop by the stand and support Holmes Camp! (Available while supplies last!)

Next up - Tomatoes!
DON'T FORGET THE HONEY
While supplies last, you can be the recipient of a 16 oz mason jar of Holmes Raw Honey, produced right here by bees in our own hive. A jar of Holmes Honey will be sent to everyone who donates $100 or more starting on Friends Day (July 26, 2020) as long as supplies last. 

Many thanks to our farm volunteer Mark and Darby Ainsworth, and Lani and Lea Hostetter-Habib. Thank you to Aya Bradley who produced this nifty video about the Holmes bees and the honey production, shot right here on site.  
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE - AUGUST 30TH
Virtual Sunday Worship Services with Holmes Camp have been such a joy to create. We have had some fabulous 'guest stars' join our service and thousands of virtual attendees from the Presbytery of Long Island, the Presbytery of New York City, the Hudson River Presbytery and beyond!

Our next worship services is Sunday, August 30th. All are welcome to virtually join us!

For Pastors and church leadership who continue to feel the strain of COVID-19 restrictions on their church activities and have been working tirelessly to create fantastic Sunday Worship experiences, we are here to help and give you some much needed Sabbath time!  Pastors - simply direct your parishioners to Holmes Virtual Sunday Service on August 30th at 10am, by going to Holmes Facebook Page or the Holmes YouTube Page. There is no sign in or sign up needed. It's that simple.

If you are not a pastor, but a member of a church, please encourage your pastor(s) to take us up on our Sunday Worship. Everyone is welcome at Holmes.

SAVE THE DATE!
AGAPE 2 UPDATE
The Agape 2 project continues to make good progress. It's so exciting to see the interior take shape! However, we have decided to reschedule the October 3rd Agape 2 Grand Opening Celebration to a later date. As soon as we are able to plan for a large gathering, we will announce the new date.

We truly can't wait to have our friends and alumni here to celebrate Agape 2 being a reality!! See Paul's Agape 2 tour!
