I hope this note finds you and your family healthy and happy. I wish you God’s peace in this challenging and revealing time.
Due to the continuing health risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not be able to hold an “in-person” Heritage Day Festival at Camp Bethel on Saturday, October 3. Camp has re-opened for families, guest rentals, and some modified events and programming, but Heritage Day would be too complex to mitigate health risks for so many person-to-person interactions and the high volume of attendees and participants.
I know many congregations have already been preparing items and foods for Heritage Day, so I encourage each congregation and/or family to explore what's possible: A drive-thru church "yard sale" or food stand? A special after-church parking lot event? An on-line sale or auction with doorstep delivery or pickup? A special offering? Any way you can help support Camp Bethel in 2020 in honor of Heritage Day is greatly needed AND appreciated.
Please let me know how we, the camp staff and the Outdoor Ministries Committee, can support or promote your creative efforts. Updated information is at www.CampBethelVirginia.org/Heritage-Day. I have also attached our latest "Camp Bethel News, Fall 2020" as PDF to this email for you to share with your congregations.
Personally, this cancellation hurts. We already miss you all so very much, and now we will miss this, our favorite of days. We know that you, too, have been impacted by COVID-19, so thank you for your time and your support. We continue to adapt and respond in responsible and creative ways, and we continue to foster and build relationships with God, with each other, and with creation. Your continued support is a great blessing to everyone in our Camp Bethel community!
Contact me with any questions, input, concerns, or ideas, and let me know how we can support you. Contact me at CampBethelOffice@gmail.com or 540-992-2940.
Together, in Christ our hope,
Barry LeNoir
