The Shell Newsletter – June 11, 2020

From the Rector

We are excited to introduce Compassion Camp!

Compassion is an important skill in creating resilient and caring children. Each day, leaders will work with children through bible stories, music, drama and art to teach compassion.

We are joining St. Andrew’s, Glenwood and other communities to partner for Compassion Camp, making this summer program available to children all over the place. All children who are in preschool through 5th grade are invited! Cousins, friends, grandchildren – the more the merrier!

Compassion Camp will be July 27 – 31 from 9:30 – 11 AM on Zoom.

We seek volunteer leaders to help teach, lead and love these compassion campers. There will be 2 required trainings for volunteer leaders.

A donation of $20 per camper/volunteer is suggested to cover the cost of your Compassion Camp T-shirt.

Donations can be mailed to
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church, PO Box 52, Glenwood, MD 21738;
“Compassion Camp” in the memo line.

Register for Compassion Camp by June 25
