Camp Webb
a great formation experience

Sending your kids to Camp Webb is a great way for them to have a camping experience centered around God in God's creation. Each day at camp will have a theme, worship, small groups, fun and games and I'm sure they will make great memories.

Please know that we are committed to getting every child to camp who wants to come, so please don't let money stand in the way! Scholarships are available. It promises to be a great summer and we hope your child can join us! For more information contact The Rev. Shannon Kelly at kelly@diomil.org or go to www.campwebb.org .

One more time . . . THANK YOU for forwarding this newsletter to parishioners and others who may be interested and for sending YOUR news/events to info@diomil.org .

See you next week!

Sincerely,
