A Letter from the Presidents


   Greetings to all our Dale County Gideon Camp members.  November is here, and there are many exciting service opportunities in our near future.  As always, we had our camp cabinet meeting the Saturday before our regular monthly camp meeting.  On behalf of all our camp members, I would like to thank all the program leaders who attended the meeting and let you know that they are representing our camp well.             This Thursday, November 13, 2014 is our regular monthly camp meeting.  As usual, we will meet in the Fellowship Hall of Ozark Baptist Church at 6:30 PM for our time of prayer, fellowship, and learning.  Our program this month is about investing our talents, and will emphasize that each of us has special talents given to us by God.  This months program reminds us that simply having a gift is not sufficient.  We can only become the people that God wants us to be by using and refining these special gifts. 
   Please mark your calendars now to attend the Birthday for Jesus on December 4, 2014.  The Coffee County Camp will host the event this year, and it will be held at St. Luke United Methodist Church, 201 Heath Street, Enterprise, AL.  This event will be our third, formal Faith Fund offering opportunity, and it will serve as our camp meeting for the month of December.  Please contact me immediately if you have not received an invitation and RSVP envelope from the Coffee County camp.  
   Both our Gideons and our Auxiliary have had a busy time with scripture distributions.  Lives continue to be touched and souls eternally saved because of your dedication to this ministry.  I encourage everyone to be sure to pay your dues before December 31.  For the past two years our camp has been very faithful with their dues renewal.  Please contact me directly if you have any questions about how to renew your dues.  II Timothy 2 says Thou therefore endure hardship, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  I am proud to serve with you.  Thank you for being a Gideon/Auxiliary.  See you Thursday.   Gene and Lynn
