- we have a resolution to vote on separating Camp from the region and having the region operate with NO regional minister - but only staff. An administrator. With the "camp staff" being the superintendent and part time food service person.
- other resolutions may or may not come to the floor

I will be doing an opening and closing prayer for this event. And watching, praying and hoping that all will go well. I wonder whether there is going to be conflict and what it will look like. The thought of that makes my stomach hurt.

Here is a poem that I may read today
"The Way It Is."
There's a thread you follow. It goes among
things that change. But it doesn't change.
People wonder about what you are pursuing.
You have to explain about the thread.
But it is hard for others to see.

or die; and you suffer and get old.
Nothing you do can stop time's unfolding.
You don't ever let go of the thread.

That thread may seem elusive and hidden, but it is there!
Keep us in prayer
