We enjoyed a Tuesday evening out at the Iowa Reformed Presbyterian Family Camp '07 just a few miles outside of Washington, Iowa, at the Crooked Creek Christian Camp. It was special because the 'NEW SONG' -a ministry of Geneva College, Beaver Falls Pa - shared the joy of singing and testimony for Christ Jesus. The director is Louise (Edgar) Copeland and we have appreciated her leadership each time we have been blessed by the ministry. the young adults of New Song 2007, students at Geneva are seen in the picture, left to right: Kassie Lorey of Pittsburgh Pa, Abaigeal Smith of Beaver Falls Pa, Stephanie Ishler of DuBois Pa, Avery Mann of Kansas City Ks, Scott Metzger of Pittsburgh Pa, Tyler Marwood of Linesville, Pa, Thomas Meyer of Girard Pa, Josh Falk of Clarinda Ia, Jordan Feagley of Huntington Pa.
Their voices rejoiced as they sang a cappella the Psalms of God's Word. It was a joy to hear their witness through song and skits. You could hear their joy as they shared the word of God. It was good to meet the young people. One of the boys, Joshua Falk, was just so tall when he was one of the children during my pastorate at Clarinda. He is now just about my height (and seemingly still growing), growing in maturity and love for Christ. Get acquainted with Geneva and may they be available at your fellowship next year.
With a thankful heart for the many friends, young and older, who were there at the camp,
Grandpa
