Camp Bethel - Sow the Seed Banquet
Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010 at 6:30pm
“…and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.”
Caring efforts have always enabled Camp Bethel to provide a week
of camp for every child who needed scholarship funding. In 2009
85 children received camperships totaling $16,838.50.
This year’s Sow the Seed Banquet will once again help provide
those camperships. For $40 per person (larger donations accepted
and encouraged) you will receive an excellent dinner, program, and knowledge that you are helping a child attend camp who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience this unique Christian community. RSVP at 540-992-2940 by February 22 to reserve your seat.
