Briefly…

Christmas Year-around! Just because we took the lights down doesn’t mean we are done with The Lights of Christmas. Many exciting plans are being made for our thirteenth season opening December 3! If you would like to help with welding, construction, design, and décor, please contact Keith Yarter, Director of The Lights of Christmas. He’ll find a project that is right for you and that will greatly bless thousands of people this next holiday season. It takes a year-round effort to get The Lights on every year.

You’ll be able to do things together as a group as well as listen to the amazing teaching of Women of Faith speaker, Thelma Wells. For more information, contact Warm Beach Camp’s Registration Department or register online.
