GCI Canada recently held its week-long Silver Meadows Camp. Over 100 campers and staff participated. The campers included 27 children who participated in a VBS program based on the life of the apostle Paul. Camp chaplain Leigh Smithson (standing in the picture below) played the role of Paul, speaking to the campers from his tent where he worked to support himself while he preached the gospel in the city of Athens.
During camp, Sabrina Shaeffers of the Edmonton congregation was baptized by her pastor Bob Millman and Silver Meadows Camp chaplain Leigh Smithson. Sabrina’s mother, Valerie Shaeffers, was present for the baptism. She noted that camp has made a huge contribution to her daughter’s spiritual development.
According to GCI-Canada director, Gary Moore, Jennifer Pasanen “did a marvellous job” serving as director of Silver Meadows Camp. “She handled the responsibility with grace, good humor and wisdom.”
