SENIOR CITIZENS WEEK at Woodland Bible Camp 2018 is now history and what a week of blessing as we centered our minds on “Don’t Be Distracted.” Each of the speakers did an excellent job of reminding us to serve the Lord without distractions (1 Corinthians 7:35 and keeping us centered on the ONE needed essential in our Christian walk such as following: ONE Desire – (Psalms 27:4); ONE Need – (Luke 10:42); ONE Word – (Galatians 5:14); ONE Lack – (Matthew 19:20,21); ONE Truth – (John 9:25); ONE Objective – (Philippians 3:13); and ONE Remembrance – (Ezekiel 16:60).
Our chairman for the week, Ed Woosley, did an excellent job of not letting us get distracted by keeping us on our schedule. Ed went beyond the call of duty to accommodate Bennie & Adele’s cabin with a hot tub. It was solar powered and came with its own instruction manual. The ladies were blessed in their Prayer and Share time by hearing testimonies from two newcomers, Esheron McKay and Brenda Ford – along with old timers Sandra Naugle and Jackie Gill who also shared lessons from the Word. Joe Overman shared with us slides from his recent trip to Israel along with handouts listing scriptures and references for the locations shown on the slides. Dale Garrett also showed slides of his trip to Zimbabwe.
At the annual Corporation Meeting on Tuesday night Jerry and Martha Carmichael were honored with their names being added to the Woodland Walk. Our singing was directed each day by someone different – even using a song book compiled by the Grimes family and the Hamburg Church.
As always, along with the fellowship, the meals and times of feasting were a highlight of the week. Billye Borders, Libby McMahan, and Fonda Carey were our chief cooks and three of the four days had special assistance. The Ford family, nurses from David Pound’s office, and Tom Ridinger and Bonnie Bland each took a day to provide and prepare meals.
The week was a special blessing for all in attendance – over 80 total showing up sometime during the week. Thanks to the four couples who make up the Planning Team (David & Brenda Ford, Robert & Jackie Gill, Ray and Sandra Naugle, and Ed and Clara Woosley) for their time and effort in making the week possible.
Plan now you who are older in age to attend next year!

PRAYER / PRAISE BOOKLET! Due to the loss of our printer going out of business (Richard Mullins) and an attempt to find someone else, we have decided NOT to publish the booklet again this year. The cheapest we found was Staples at $8.00 per booklet. We’re going to try and gather as much material as we can and publish it through my News / Notes section of the Word & Work. If you would like some general information regarding some of the works we promote through the Church of Christ Worldwide, please contact me, benhill2468@gmail.com We apologize for not being able to make the booklet available to you who have used them in the past but knew you would understand the cost issue!
