Best Wishes Party (Off to College)!!!

The last Monday in December, the group took a break from bible study to help support Randy and Jackie as they prepared to send their only son off to college. It was again a show of genuine love and support for the Camper family. We meet in this home every Monday and so this Monday was just a special time to spend with Cody and to give him well wishes, advice and pieces of wisdom. Thanks to all of you who made this night special and for the support it gave to Jackie during this very hard time for her. Thanks to Bob and Melissa Turner for the beautiful, tasty cake and to everyone else who brought things to make this night special for Cody and his parents. Here are some of the memories from that night.

Yum!! Yum!!! Must have sugar before heading to college!!! Good Advice!!!!

Could Barbara be giving driving tips for the WV mountains? Is that a good thing?
It is if you want to know how to get there fast!!!

The Happy Campers, Randy, Jackie and Cody.

while Tony McKenna and Jack Mason talk solar.

Hugh and Linda Wise were in attendance with words of encouragement.

Cody wants to thank everyone for their kindnesses, words of encouragment, cards, advice and money as he prepared to leave home for the first time. Randy and Jackie thank everyone for the awesome love and support shown to them during this time of struggle and adjustment. God always sends manna when we're hungry, He gives us water when we thirst and He gives us rest when we are weary, and He gives us Himself through the love of all of you when we just need a little support. Thanks Wabi-Sabi Sisters and God's Helping Hands. Thanks to all your prayers Cody made it to school and has settled in well and Jackie is making the adjustment to having the empty nest. God is so good!
