Burnt Cabin Camp 2007

Quest for Truth

Seventy children from Garnett and Memorial Churches of Christ and their friends gathered at Burnt Cabin for what was a fantastic camp experience filled with stories about Jesus and how we can grow into his image.

All the children received a nickname--part of camp they really love. We did crafts, sweated at sports time, swam, sang, prayed, discussed the Bible story each day in "Quest Groups," and of course had all the regular elements of camp, including mail call, three meals a day together, bedtime stories and devotionals, and of course canteen!

If you have a child 8-12, consider sending her or him to camp next summer! If you can't afford it, tell us early and we can raise money for scholarship for your child. This is an important part of spiritual formation in our children's ministry. For more information, email our children's minister, Susie Haltom.

College and Twenties Age Group

Are you in college or in your twenties, single or just married? A group meets twice monthly that is made up of young professionals and college-age men and women. The group meets at Walt and Kathy Erwin's house at 8516 S. 43 W. Ave. Tulsa, OK (Jenks Area).

We welcome new members. We have Bible or Topic study, prayer and snacks on one of the gatherings and generally have an event of some kind on the second meeting (bowling, pizza, volleyball, cookout).

Helping flood victims

A group of men went to Miami, Oklahoma Saturday to help flood victims. From one report, several hundred homes and businesses have been flooded with up to four feet of water inside.

Garnett partners joined a Baptist relief group from North Carolina in tearing out sheetrock, pressure washing floors, cleaning out mold, and getting the homes ready for restoration.

If you are interested in helping families in Miami, contact Jeff McIlroy or write an email.
