We find ourselves once again at the end of another month — where did the time go? February has brought its share of winter weather, the Olympics, and a welcome break from school schedules (for New York). And now, we are one month closer to a summer we so desperately need!
I am grateful for the rhythm of the church calendar, which invites us each year to pause during the 40 days before Easter. Lent gives us space to reflect on Christ’s suffering and to consider how we participate in the ongoing work of sanctification in our own lives. Without this season, it would be easy to rush straight to Easter without fully remembering why we celebrate.
I need this structure and reminder each year — a renewed awareness of the sacrifice Jesus made and the incredible love of God. My prayer is that Christ feels especially near to you and to our campers during this season.
Meanwhile, the work of preparing for summer continues as we get ready to share Jesus’ love with girls at camp. We are still hiring and looking for quality staff, including counselors, kitchen staff, office support, maintenance, and a head nurse. God always provides — and often our Cedarbrook family plays an essential role in that provision, whether by forwarding this email, mentioning camp in conversation, or sharing a social media post.
Campers continue to sign up, and we’ve seen a recent increase as many families look toward the hope of summer in the bleak midwinter! Most ages and sessions still have space available. We host monthly Zoom Info Nights at 7:00 PM for families who would like to learn more about camp. Our next one is tonight!
Thank you, as always, for your continued support of Cedarbrook. We are so grateful for you.
