Celebrating Year 11 – Camp Hope Benefit Concert!

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Please join us for “Tomorrow Belongs to Me” – a New play written by founder Diane Parrish telling the story of the Camp Hope children through stage and song.

When? Sunday evening, September 26th

What time? 6:30pm

Where? Sanctuary of Mt. Bethel UMC – 4385 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta, GA

Tickets? A love offering will be collected

Come see some of Cobb County’s finest actors and singers:  Thom and Nicole Gray, Tom and Mylinda Milley, Lee Herring, Charlie Marus and Diane Parrish; as we bring to life the Camp Hope Story (working year-round with inmate’s children) through the eyes of the Campers, Custodial parents, incarcerated parents, counselors and teachers…

The production is a wonderful event for the entire family – however – child care is available for younger children, should you prefer.  I’d also like to ask you to consider bringing some of your friends to introduce them to our ministry – we love new faces!

Thank you and I pray we see you then!

Rev. Diane Parrish
Sr. Associate Mt. Bethel UMC

Summer 2010

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

It’s been a busy time in the Camp Hope office this summer.  Not only have we been planning the 11th Camp Hope, but we have organized some fun events for our kids.

On June 19, 13 Leadership boys went to Stone Mountain for the day.  They did Sky Hike – Stone Mountain’s ropes course and then took the tram to the top of the mountain for a devotion.

Three Leadership girls came for a day of service at the Camp Hope office and helped us with some projects for camp.  One Leadership girl helped Mt. Bethel with VBS.

Today was the Mentor/Mentee Braves game.  Five Mentors took their Mentees to the Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers game at Turner Field.

Next up….Camp Hope in TWO WEEKS!!!

Blessings!
