A team of 14 people from TBC will be leading Clue (Children Living the Urban Experience) Camp at Metro Baptist Church in New York City, August 5-8. This is the last week of a six-week camp session at Metro Baptist. The theme for the camp is Imagination Station, and our week is “I Imagine a Better World.” This camp provides a safe place for 60 children in Hell’s Kitchen to learn and play all summer. Tabernacle has been leading Clue Camp most summers for the past 20 years. We will travel to NYC on August 3 to prepare for camp. Pray for the group as they travel and prepare for this experience.
The team is: Terry Witt, Emily Witt, Nathan Hatfield, Bonnie Dance, SaraAnne Burgess, Kekoa Burgess, Dylan Burgess, Kaeo Burgess, Kanoa Burgess, Preston Lowery, Hazel Lowery, Sarala Kennedy, Brynne Severns, and Judy Fiske.
