BEHIND THE SCENES OF VIRTUAL WORSHIP
|
|
A director has to wear a lot of hats (clearly, at this moment, this director needed one pretty badly). In this shot Bryan is not only serving as cameraman, he's doubling as a human teleprompter!
That's Psalm 105 on his torso.
Tune in Sunday to be part of the results.

When the storm ripped off the electric service from Cabin One last Spring, we decided it was time to put the new electric service underground.
Our intrepid maintenance crew is hard at work getting us ready to be hooked up. Maintenance Supervisor Paul was pleased that the project went smoothly. Cabin One still needs some love but this is a big step towards bringing it back online.

'HOLMES@HOME' CAMP
We're putting together a schedule of posts to give you a taste of camp throughout the summer!
How will Holmes@Home work?
We will post to our
Facebook
page, as well as send out information via our eNewsletter list.
Each week we will have some focus on scripture from the curriculum that we would've used at summer camp and will have videos of camp staff doing some of our favorite camp activities!
We will post about two 5-10 minute long videos and other posts each week. You'll get to view traditional sing-a-longs, camp crafts and super secret "Holmes Recipes" you can do at home, picture scavenger hunts around camp, interviews with the Holmes staff and much, much more!
This is totally free
and offered to our community to give you a connection to the sacred space we know and love.
