Can you believe we are making plans for Day Camp in the year 2020.  It will probably be late June or early July.  The 2019 Day Camp for St. Jacob was very special.  We also had a great pool party to conclude the week.  But what a great week it was from July 8-12 from 9-3 each day.  We collected lots of important needs for the week with our “giving tree”.  We also collected a lot of things for other people with our white bucket challenge to help with tornado relief.  Our Day Camp was staffed by energetic and specially trained young adults from LOMO (Lutheran Outdoor Ministries of Ohio).  The theme was “Transformed Community: God’s Agents of C.H.A.N.G.E.”  Can you believe we have been doing this for nearly a quarter of a century?  Miamisburg has started a rock garden.  It looks great and reminds us of the nice rocks we have been collecting for years in our picnic table area.  Many thanks to all who continue to contribute rocks for our special area.
