Camp Stevens Sunday
April 20, 2008

In September 2007 forest and buildings were destroyed by fire at Camp Stevens, our Episcopal Church Camp in San Diego County.

Rebuilding efforts and reforestation are begun. Our Bishop Mathes has asked that all parishes be asked to help in the rebuilding of this wonderful ministry center, summer camp, conference center, and witness to God's glory in creation.

This Sunday, parishes throughout the diocese, including St. Margaret's will gather funds for the rebuilding of Camp Stevens.

Frank Marshall and Father Dan, who serve on the Camp Stevens Board of Directors, ask you to be generous in your response to this special appeal.
