TRAIL CLEARING WORK DAY, SEPT 19TH
Mark you calendar for next Trail Work Day - Sept 19th, 8:30 am to 4 pm. (You do not need to stay the whole time!)

Summer storms have downed many trees and branches. It's all hands on deck to help get our trails cleared for the fall.

If you are handy with a chain saw - we could use your help! (Bringing you own chain saw is encouraged.) There's also plenty of lighter debris that will be easy enough to clear by hand.

We will meet at the Office/Workshop (60 Denton Lake Road) at 8:30 to hand out assignments. (For those who arrive later, there will be instructions available.) We will be social distancing, but please do bring a mask for when we are gathered together. And, because of social distancing protocols, we will not be providing lunch - however you are welcome to bring your own and find a quiet spot to picnic! Don't forget work gloves, protective eye wear and a water bottle!

RSVP's are appreciated, but not required: [email protected]
MISSED SUNDAY'S WORSHIP SERVICE - NO PROBLEM!
We had a great turn out for our Sunday Worship Service. If you missed it, feel free to check it out above, or on our Holmes FaceBook page or YouTube channel. There is no sign in or sign up needed. Our worship bulletin will be posted HERE on our website.
BEHIND THE SCENES OF SUNDAY WORSHIP
Virtual Sunday Worship Services with Holmes Camp take a village to produce!

Thanks to everyone who has stepped up to help out. Pictured - one of our beloved camera men - Sam you are awesome!!
