Winter Work Weekends Scheduled

Feb. 24-26, Mar. 9-11

We are excited to host our 3rd annual winter work weekends at The Refuge. We will begin with worship on Saturday evening at 7:00pm with music, prayer and a time of study. If your group would like to stay at The Refuge we can host your group in either the Luke House or the Moses House. Saturday will be a day full of work, fellowship, eating, and more work. Contact Terry at the camp office if you or your group would like to join us! 252-746-4766

The projects we will be working on will be the Office Porch, The Pavilion upper deck, Interior work on the office, and begin work on the 5th farm house. We will have work for every skill level participant. Please let us know if you have special skills so that we can place you in a leadership role at one of the sites.

 

The Refuge Stars in Local Christmas Parades

Over the last few Saturdays, the Refuge has joined in the Greenville, Ayden, Farmville and Snow Hill Christmas Parades! Featured on the float were several classic Refuge images, including a tent, a campfire, fishing poles, and even campers paddling canoes alongside the display. And you can't miss the red rocking chairs! Big thanks to Buddy Boyd for his hard work on the float, and to several of our board members for coming out to ride along.

 

Construction projects continue as the Lord Provides!

Much work has been done at The Refuge in the last few months. The Pavilion continues to come to a close and will be complete when the septic system is installed. The Hiding place will be finished this fall and ready to use in 2012. Work has also begun on the office with many of the summer build teams contributing as well as our friends from the Swansboro area. God continues to move in such a way that only He can get the Glory and we are amazed at the number of folks who have blessed us with their gifts and willingness to serve. Here are a few pictures of some of the progress!

 

130+ Youth Attend 13th Annual Fall Retreat

132 middle school and high school students from around eastern NC descended upon Camp Don Lee for the 13th Annual Son Set Ministries Fall Retreat. The Lord provided beautiful weather for the end of November, and a large number of campers even took the "Polar Plunge!" We were privileged to have Sid Bradsher join us as our featured speaker, and he brought his wonderful family along as well. Christ was exalted through teaching, music, skits, fun, food and friendship, and everyone left encouraged to remove their "masks" and get real with Christ and with others. We look forward to hosting this event at the Refuge next fall!
