The Glory of God

From time to time I am asked about the plaques that are in the Chapel and if I would mind finding a particular one and sending on the exact words. Yesterday, I was looking for one and ran across these verses on one which expressed my sentiments exactly..........

Psalms 19: 1 - 4...."The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.  Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.  There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.  Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.  In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.".........beautiful!

Have a Blessed Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

John 19:26-27:  "When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, 'Woman, behold thy son!'  Then saith he to the disciple, 'Behold thy mother!'  And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home."

Do you know a mother that will be alone on Mother's Day?  Jesus set an example here as he was dying.
The disciple set a precedent by taking her into his home to be treated as his mother year round.  Have a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Christ is My Rock

Psalms 61: 1 - 2: "Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than me."

Think about this verse the next time you visit Pretty Place and look beyond the cross and out over the rock. He is bigger still!

Chapel Upgrades

Beginning Monday, March 19, 2012 Symmes Pretty Place Chapel will be closed to the public while several upgrades are completed. Included in the list of improvements are: a repainting of the entire chapel; several small structural and cosmetic repairs; the rebuilding of a border wall; lighting improvements and door replacements. The work will cease for Easter weekend and conclude in time for spring weddings and our Family Fun on the Mountain centennial celebration.

He Is Risen Indeed!

"...behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: and as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living amoung the dead? He is not here, but is risen....." Luke 24: 4-6

You are welcome to join the Camp Greenville staff and guests in celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, April 8th, at Fred W. Symmes "Pretty Place" Chapel. Plan to arrive by 5:15 am and be a part of our tradition of listening to an encouraging message from the camp director and an uplifting cantata by the Rocky Hill Baptist Church choir. The service ends just in time to see the sun rise above the Blue Ridge Mountains. A delicious breakfast will be served in the Camp dining hall for a $7.00 fee following the service.
