Out'a The Rut

A team of men arrived at Camp Ichthus for a work project. Recent rains had created deep ruts on some of the pathways through Camp. The team moved gravel to wheelbarrows and a utility vehicle to fill in the ruts. It was fun serving as the hands and feet of Jesus to support Camp Ichthus in its ongoing ministry. This camp is a great resource to churches in Southeast ABCOPAD.

The Walnut Grille in Fox Chapel welcomed a clergy group with open arms. Good conversation. Good food. Good fellowship. We spent time getting to know one another and are looking forward to spending more time together. Over the 2 days, we had nearly 25 ABCOPAD Pastors, Preachers, Ministry Leaders and spouses in attendance. The fire was ReKindled!!!
