Dear Friends,

I thought it fitting to share some good news on race.

Last fall the Anti-Racism Commission secured a $10,000 gift to scholarship minority children to Camp Wingmann. This was in response to a comment Fr. Chris Beathwaite had shared that the camp was an incubator for the society we hope to see. The children and staff love each other. Race isn’t an issue and they are seeking Christ together.

That grant has funded almost 40 children to camp this summer. A few more will likely be added in July. It has been a huge success. One youth leader shared that her Latino congregation was “overwhelmed that they were thought of and remembered.”

I am serving as chaplain this week and am happy to report mission accomplished. Rob Moses is providing the Christian Ed program. This photo is from lunch today.

Many other children are here on scholarships, including over $8,000 used so far on a tithe of over $30,000 set aside by the Camp Wingmann Board on the Trinity Towers gifts reported in last month’s CFE. Those scholarships are purely need-based.

I do not mean to imply this settles anything, but it is a joy to share in this slice of heaven for a week.

In Christ,

Tim
